Document Summary
Performances may vary in correctness and quality and even in authenticity of a more esoteric kind; but all correct performances are equally genuine instances of the work. Autographic: if an only if the distinction between original and forgery of it is significant; or better, if and only if even the most exact duplication of it does not thereby count as genuine. Painting is autographic and music is nonautographic (allographic) Painting is a one-stage art while music is a two-stage art. Is art autographic if and only if it is one-stage: not all autographic arts are one-stage, ex: etching has two stages and. Do not confuse genuineness with aesthetic merit. Authenticity in an autographic art always depends upon the object"s having the requisite, sometimes rather complicated, history of production; but that history does not always include ultimate execution by the original artist. Cast sculpture is comparable to printmaking while carve sculpture is comparable to painting.
