Summary/Abstract: The consideration is a borderline case combining sociology of art and sociology of emotions. The problems concerning emotions associated with a piece of art as such, its new versions, pastiches, and adaptations have been analyzed in the paper. The analysis involves reference to the position in the field of symbolic goods (the avant-garde, classic, mass culture) and the subjects in this field (creative artists, critics, recipients). A multiple case study has been applied and it is essential to use the reproductions of the pieces of art that have been discussed (Mona Liza by Leonardo da Vinci, Marcel Duchamp, Salvador Dali, Fernando Botero placed in avant-garde field, and numerous versions done by unknown creators from mass culture field).
