WATCH OUT

Originals
vanish
one by one

Lost?
Destroyed?
Think: Four horsemen

What’s left?
Memory?
Replicas?

Suddenly, but
not all at once
valid copies

transcend in desirability
the original
masterpiece

They also
become
more sought after

Verified work
supersedes in worth
the authentic art of the masters

Hard to believe, but
that is the vogue
Values continue to escalate

Replicas
Of what used
to be precious

Are now categorized,
in the slang, as
to die for

Perception
alters
reality

Markets
take the
wrong turn

It happens
Beware the bubble
Search for the truth
