FAQ
The original artist owns his or her physical painting until it is sold, and the original artist retains the exclusive right to make reproductions of his artwork, even after the original is sold. This copyright covers recreations, duplications, reprintings, and any other form of “copying” you can think of.
In other words, although the client may “own” the work of art, the artist who created the work owns the copyright, including all ways in which that artwork is represented (photos, video, ads, logos, branding), other than in situ (on-site documentation photos).
For example, if you use an artwork and make a sculpture, snow globe, puzzle, bas-relief, scarf, tee-shirt, mouse pad, wine label, clock, box, knife handle, button, lunch box, greeting card, poster, fabric, CD cover, figurine, frame, etc. you are infringing by creating an unauthorized derivative work.
Copyright ownership is separate from ownership of an original artwork. If the work is uncommissioned, then the artist owns the copyright automatically even if the original is sold. The copyright may be sold or assigned as a separate undertaking. Only the copyright holder has the right to reproduce the work.
When an artist creates a painting, the artist owns both the copyright in the artwork, and the physical artwork. Ownership of the copyright is an intellectual property right. Ownership of the physical artwork is a personal property right. A sale of the physical artwork does not transfer the copyrights in the artwork.
