Digital BW, The Print

In the new issue of Architectural Digest, I think on page 176, or close by, 
in the description of some of the furniture and art work in the room pictured 
it lists 2 black & white digital prints(photographs) by Robert Raushenberg.   
Upon closer examination they are indeed 2 b&w photos by the artist obviously 
newly printed, digitally.  Of course Raushenberg has the reputation and name 
as a traditional artist, so buying "digital" prints from him "must be 
accepted as real art"
As several on this list have said, if its digital, but done by a recognized 
artist, there's no problem with the work being viewed as "real collectable " 
art work.
It's not the medium as much as the MAKER.
