If a picture is worth a thousand words, then it's a good bet that
at least half of those words relate to the picture's copyright
status. Art historians, artists, and anyone who wants to use the
images of others will find themselves awash in byzantine legal
terms, constantly evolving copyright law, varying interpretations
by museums and estates, and despair over the complexity of the
whole situation. Here, on a white--not a high--horse, Susan
Bielstein offers her decades of experience as an editor working
with illustrated books. In doing so, she unsnarls the threads of
permissions that have ensnared scholars, critics, and artists for
years.
Organized as a series of "takes" that range from short sidebars to
extended discussions, "Permissions, A Survival Guide" explores
intellectual property law as it pertains to visual imagery. How can
you determine whether an artwork is copyrighted? How do you procure
a high-quality reproduction of an image? What does "fair use"
really mean? Is it ever legitimate to use the work of an artist
without permission? Bielstein discusses the many uncertainties that
plague writers who work with images in this highly visual age, and
she does so based on her years navigating precisely these issues.
As an editor who has hired a photographer to shoot an incredibly
obscure work in the Italian mountains (a plan that backfired
hilariously), who has tried to reason with artists' estates in
languages she doesn't speak, and who has spent her time in the
archival trenches, she offers a snappy and humane guide to this
difficult terrain.
Filled with anecdotes, asides, and real courage, "Permissions, A
Survival Guide" is a unique handbook that anyone working in
thevisual arts will find invaluable, if not indispensable.
