What is the value of a piece of art?


How can you determine the value of a particular piece of art? Carl Matheson, head of the department of philosophy at the University of Manitoba, believes that originality is a big contribution to the value of a piece of art, along with originality. If a man copies a piece of art, should it still have the same value? I think not, I personally feel the value should be determined by the thought and originality that went in to the painting. Many people have the ability to copy a particular piece of art, but few have the ability to concieve an entirely new, ground breaking idea.
