i've been thinking...

...is there any art that cannot be reproduced?

in my painting 2 class sophomore year i made a frame for a canvas that had extra wide edges so i could create a painting that existed totally on the edges of the canvas. richard baker, my instructor, jokingly said, "this is 'irreproducable' art." is that ever true? in the met on friday i saw some of the period rooms with my english architecture class...some of which were the real rooms, others were recreated. i would have figured these types of work were free form reproduction but this was obviously not the case. so it got me thinking about reproduction and its [maybe nonexistant] limitations...
