Abstract

Art should be considered for its innovative expression. With art, comes context. The context of the work may be a reinterpretation or means of communicating a review, criticism, or other comment. Challenges of rights ownership, registration and copyright related to art imagesare helping create greater public interaction. Libraries, archives and museums are engaged with challenges of copyright while introducing digitization, access, considerations among owners, registrars, artists, publishers, scholars, and those with a passion for particular worksof art, artists or artistic themes. Copyright is important to consider in advance of the worksdisplayed. Documentation and agreements need to be flexible to meet a variety of needs. Assertions of copyright by institutions are made despite contrary clear public domainattributes. Alterations, derivative works, changes by masking or superimposing other graphicworks affect copyright. Examples of art copyright challenges include cases for ethical questions and discussion. Beyond copyright are issues regarding privacy, injury, moral rights, amount used, compliance with donor wishes and rights to forget.
