The interior ("omphalos") of Cloud Gate, by Anish Kapoor (2004) in Millennium Park Chicago, Illinois
Photograph taken by Kent Moss, Chicago July 2004.

[edit] Licensing

The copyright of the sculpture depicted in this photograph is believed to belong to the artist, Anish Kapoor. Its depiction in this derivative work is unlicenced, but its use to illustrate the article Cloud Gate is believed to be fair use under U.S. copyright law:

This is a two-dimensional representation of a copyrighted sculpture, statue or any other three-dimensional work of art. As such it is a derivative work of art, and per US Copyright Act of 1976, § 106(2) who owns copyright of the original has the exclusive right to authorize derivative works.

Per § 107 it is believed that reproduction for criticism, comment, teaching and scholarship constitutes fair use and does not infringe copyright.

It is believed that the use of a picture

• to illustrate the three-dimensional work of art in question,
• to discuss the artistic genre or technique of the work of art
• or to discuss the artist or the school to which the artist belongs

• on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as copyright information on the original artwork.

[edit] Rationale for fair use in Cloud Gate

I (User:JeremyA) believe that the use of this image to illustrate the sculpture Cloud Gate in these three articles is fair use under U.S. copyright law because:

• It is used solely for the purpose of illustrating the sculpture
• This article would be deficient without an illustration of the interior of the sculpture as a written description alone could not convey this view
• No freely licensed alternative is available for this purpose

The uploader/photographer has indicated that any parts of this photograph that are not covered by a third-party copyright may be published under one of the following licences:

I, the creator of this work, hereby grant the permission to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
