The work of Art on the world of mechanical revolution

Even the most perfect reproduction of a work of art is lacking in one element: its presence in time and space, its unique existence at the place where it happens to be. This unique existence of the work of art determined the history to which it was subject throughout the time of its existence. This includes the changes which it may have suffered in physical condition over the years as well as the various changes in its ownership. The traces of the first can be revealed only by chemical or physical analyses which it is impossible to perform on a reproduction; changes of ownership are subject to a tradition which must be traced from the situation of the original.

This to me means that art lacks the element of time and space you never know where it has been. This is interesting because just like history there's elements lost in time and space and just becomes a memory. Even memories become vague nothing is immortal not even awesome paintings.
