Collectors are aware that they can buy facsimiles of aesthetics and features similar to the iconic clichés that clutter mass markets. Or for the eclectic spectrum of connoisseur tastes, they could hunt down distinctive pieces at our auctions, where rarity and authenticity separate the connoisseur from the conventional.
