[edit] Fair use rationale

This low resolution image is used in J.B. Manson, a former Director of the Tate gallery. It is of a sculpture that was the occasion of considerable public controversy, when it was pronounced by Manson to be "not art". It is considered that it aids greatly the comprehension of this controversy and the sculpture's artistic worth to be able to see an image of the sculpture. It is considered that this will not cause commercial harm to the original author or the photographer. It is believed that this is fair use and does not infringe copyright. There is no known free alternative available.

According to section 107 of the United States Copyright Act of 1976 :

The fair use of a copyrighted work...for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.[1]

The image is used for non-profit purposes. This factor is noted as relevant by the Act.
