 He’s also inclined to reject the second view, that works of art are, all of them, physical objects. Though the topic isn’t pursued at length, his reasons center around the fact that many works of art—woodcuts, for instance—have multiple instances, and it’s impossible to account for that fact if every work of art is a physical object. Is Pastijn’s The Last Supper in Rome or in Paris? If it’s a physical object, it can’t be in both places, so which of the two is it? Since both “Paris” and “Rome” seem wrong, the correct thing to do is to reject the assumption that the woodcut is a physical object. Rather, it’s a kind, and has instances that are located in Paris and Rome.
