I think that in the traditional old world of painting, the paper pieces were drawings, meant to lead up to the final product, a canvas (or ceiling, or alter piece). you tend to find multiple drawings on paper, with only one (or two) piece(s) on the more expensive, less expendable surface. perhaps you can say that the current system of easily reproducible canvases is modifying the old system or you can say that there is just a bit of left over discrimination based on out of date views.

A great point, unfortunately I can't expand on it..

This is certainly true, but durability is still an issue.

A primary reason why most contemporary large paintings are on canvas is because paper is less stable and more subject to tears, especially at large sizes. Finding paper of large dimensions can also be difficult.

Then there are further conservation challenges with paper that aren't as severe with canvas.

which gets back to the point that the medium is a matter of preference (ie. large size desired, convenience etc) and thus a work of art whether its on paper or canvas is worth the same. Pleast note that in this case the art when combined with the medium (hypothetically) looks, feels, evokes the same on both.

Oh, and yes, I would rather take the canvas over paper original because of the fact that theres some who strongly disagree. I would sell the canvas, buy the paper, and enjoy the difference in cash because theres no difference in the art.

Faile works on canvas are originals although-using familiar images but originals (which is not the case when you look at most artists talked about on info-original on canvas from edition XX).
There are some originals on paper but mostly they are limited edition prints or 1/1 editions with different backgrounds - which are not really originals despite that lots of sellers are boosting them that way.
Hence I would rather own original on canvas - but I agree that art is absolutely important and in some instances I've seen Faile original on paper or wood which wouldn't work well on canvas and reverse.
But back to the POW prints - for me they're 'flat' that's why I don't rate them that much.
