"The prices for replicas, editions, or works that have some ephemeral trace of Duchamp reached its peak with the purchase of a 1964 replica of "Fountain" from an edition of eight, for $1.7 million at Sotheby's in November 1999. " [15]

Bourriaud Relational Aesthetics Glossary
From Relational Aesthetics by Bourriard
The Radicant by Bourriard
It's interesting to think about how the money and the market in art complicates all these theories we have been reading. For example, Bourriard talks about the originality of works as being a kind of territory for which artists combat other artists. The readymade changes this idea by removing the material of the objects from their territory and thereby removing the importance of the author, and in the end displacing the territorial nature of its originality. Thus, Bourriard says, Duchamp's bicycle wheel is not owned by anyone. If it is destroyed, it can be made again by anyone. But the market value on the 'original' bicycle wheel would have us think differently.
pop art is relational aesthetics?
