Replica is constrained in a certain group of people. Everyone cant afford to buy an original painting of a famous artist so generally people tend to buy the replicas. one has to have enough money to afford the original one, even if i am not a layman and I understand the art but i cant afford it. Therefore I feel the purpose of a fake object is to connect to the original one. And its popularity depends on the advertisement of the original as well as the replica . i believe the fakers are all above creator in the market. but yeah one cant really get the feel of the original painting through the replica. I would rather spend some money and go see the original piece kept at the museum.
In a gallery or a museum thing should not allowed to be touched, atleast not in India. when I went to the Habitat Center in New Delhi, in the gallery there were sculptures kept a stool sort of a thing. There was a guard who had a disposable coffee cup in his hand. He was constantly keeping his eye on us but suddenly I saw meanwhile he kept his cup just on one those stools where there was a sculpture kept. I felt so bad, the person who is in charge of the security of the gallery, does he really value the kept objects? that he was keeping his stupid disposable coffee cup just by a sculpture made by some famous artist!!!!!!
In Santiniketan also, there are sculptures made by Ramkinkar Baij,one of the pioneers of modern Indian sculpture, had been installed open air and kept like that. Noone is there to take care of them, bird's shit and over flowing water from the water tank of the hostels destroying the precious art work.
