That's not necessarily true. There are many examples of fine art which is made by computer and easily replicated by anyone. However, the prints themselves are limited in quantity (or, there may just one official print).

Of course. But do people pay top dollar for those? I don't actually know, but I doubt it.

This is how photography nearly always worked. I think there's some early photo tech that did only result in one image, but all of film photography produced 'prints'.

Although I remember growing up with one print that deliberately had a fold in it, made by the artist as part of the art.
