오리지널 판화와 복제품의 차이 연구

Abstract

In the domestic and overseas print communities, the difference between original print and reproduction was already officially announced via precedent regulation. However, in case of the Korean print art market, still print consumers' perception regarding the classification of original print and reproduction is not considerable. Against this background, this study analyzed the difference between original print and reproduction from a new perspective and tried to distinguish them clearly. First and foremost, this study investigated previous definitions of original print and reproduction, and current status on the classification in the Korean artistic community. Moreover, characteristics of these two were analyzed based on the theories proposed by Walter Benjamin, Clement Greenberg and others, to identify the difference. As a result, in case of the original print, orignal is the print itself. Thus, it is characterized by 'pluralized originality', 'multiple sense of place and weaving of time'. Moreover, this paper denominated the phenomenon with which artists' labor for a long time and inclusion of numerous elements, leading to their unique expression effects and to the sublimation to other editions in a subtle manner enabling the viewers to feel this as the 'production process level aura'. Reproduction does not have this. Through them, it was possible to expand the denotation regarding the sequel discourse on Benjamin's aura theory. Original print contains 'unique expression effect' which can be claimed to be media purity of each print technique. This was not common in case of reproduction. Accordingly, this study clarified the difference between original print and reproduction, advocated expansion of the definitions for the original print and reproduction that is normally accepted and claimed that there is a need to hold discussion on the name and edition symbol modifications, and on the expression technique symbolizing method in the Korean print industry.
