Because that doesn't make the image in question scarcer? I just went to Christie's site and copied it by just viewing the page.

Well, physical art reproductions are high quality already (I have some Van Gogh canvas prints I bought for like 50$ a piece on my walls). So you can't really say traditional art images are scarce too.

The thing is whoever is owns the original in some sense, even if you eventually cannot discern it with a microscope.
