Hi Jeff - every now and then I do some copy work (used to do lots when I
worked at a museum and archives). Anyway, recently I was interested discover
that in such a situation in the US, photographs that you take of flat
artwork - paintings drawings - aren't copyright protected -(that is, your
copyright in the image, not the artists in the work) whereas copy
photographs of 3D artwork, sculptures, installation pieces etc, is copyright
protected.
