You seriously don't understand the value of art.
Most people don't.
Let's use your example. The Mona Lisa. (a surprisingly small painting).
Let's add Star Trek.
We will use the replicator - and make a molecular copy of the Mona Lisa.
It is, in every way an exact duplicate of the original. Is it worth the same? Nope.
If you bought one car, is there any reason to believe the next car off the line would be worth more, or less than the first? Probably not.
So what is the difference?
You are not paying for the artwork itself. It really isn't important. Artwork that looks like it was done by a 3rd grader - done by famous artists - will go for more than a skillfully done painting by an amateur.
So what are you really buying?
Woo....
You're buying a story. You're buying into the bullshit.
.....
I guess it's no big surprise that churches hold some of the most valuable art in the world.
Shit congregates.
