When a work of art is reproduced, it looses its uniqueness, however, each time any person views it, their perspective is shifted slightly each time. Therefore, no matter if the work is an original or a reproduction, it is always unique each time it is viewed. If multiple persons view the work, no two will perceive it the say way, or even if just one person looks at the work multiple times, their thoughts and perception will change each time.
I disagree that the act of reproducing a work, or photographing something done in the studio is not art. I believe that the process of creating art in itself IS a work of art. Saying that it is not a work of art is almost like saying a performance is not a work of art, and I'm sure I can find many people who can agree with me on that one. It's like the quote, "actions speak louder than words"; every action is a defining moment, and if we so choose, by acting we can define art.
