RE: Artists, Museums & Copyright??

My mistake-- I meant 'reproduction' in the copyright, not the art student sense. Publication of (authorized) copies without a proper notice voids the copyright under the '09 act. The copy of the painting published in the catalog may or may not have contained a proper notice along with it. That make sense?

Hmmm. I don't see how publication of a reproduction would act as publication of the original, or am I missing something?
