"Kunstwerk" in the age of holography

In 2007 one auction shocked collectors and artists: Two art works of Rudie Berkhout were offered for one thousand dollars on eBay. The closing down of museums for holography in Cologne, New York and Washington DC paid a big price of respect for true art. Benjamin's vision about "Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" found a new expression in abuse and ignorance. Beautiful sculptures of Art are reduced to "Holograms" like Rudie's "Cairo Aspect" placed in a rummage sale, covered by fingerprints of ignorance.
