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, might be copyright infringement. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use as well as copyright information on the original artwork.

[edit] Fair Use In The Article Linee

This image is a photograph of copyrighted 3D objects created by the artist Piero Manzoni, in 1959. It is necessary to illustrate examples of the object under discussion, since the article is solely about the objects in question. The image is used as the heading to illustrate an article that attempts to widen the popular appeal of modern conceptual art, and by using a relatively obscure piece by a much misunderstood but seminal artist, seeks to expand the articles on wikipedia about modern art. Inevitably, any artist born in the last century would still be under copyright, but since the work is 3 dimensional, the photo itself cannot induce any loss of earnings. I firmly believe that a publication such as wikipedia must engage in discourses about modern and conceptual art; the wikipedia must be allowed to discuss contemporary art, with relevant images illustrating specific examples. Without the image used, the article would be substantially less articulate, and more forbidding to any reader without prior knowledge of the artist's work. The image is used merely to illustrate the aforementioned article, and in no way challenges the uses or value of Manzoni's multiple. The source that it is taken from includes photos of 42 of the multiples, and by taking one single image from the sequence, the article cannot be a substitute for the original source's authority or completeness. The image is low resolution, taken from an accredited published source (Manzoni, by Germano Clemant, Electa, 2007). The image cannot be replaced by a photo in the pulic domain, since no such image will become available until 2033. Until then, all copyright of photos of the relevant artwork will reside with Manzoni's estate. I believe it is in the estate's commercial, artistic and intellectual interests to allow the discussion and distribution of Manzoni's ideas, which were all concerning the de-materialisation of the object and the elevating of the idea; an infinite line read about on the net is, in some ways, more infinite than the original version listed in the article.

[edit] Licensing:

This image is of a book cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover or the publisher of the book. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers to illustrate an article discussing the book in question 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. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. Please include in your fair use rationale details of the particular edition (publisher, market & year of publication) of the edition you have used, and also acknowledge any cover artist if such artist is acknowledged in that edition's frontmatter. If the book cover is in the public domain (see Wikipedia:Public domain), then use the appropriate public domain tag rather than this one.
