Dear colleagues, Our library received a question from one of the Studio Art faculty regarding the use of source imagery in creation of original artwork. He would like us to create a resource that would outline what is an "original" artwork, what is "appropriation", "fair use", and what is the definition of the outright plagiarism of an image. He also brings up some recent high profile cases (listed at the end) and also refers to a lot of other artists who legitimately appropriate art starting with Marcel Duchamp, Sherrie Levine and so forths. I am curious if you as Art Librarians provide expertise/guidelines on this and if so, do you have good resources you could share with me? These are the cases he mentions: https://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/high-profile-new-lawsuits-test-the-limits-of-fair-use http://www.artistrights.info/cariou-v-prince https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/20/arts/design/richard-prince-instagram-copyright-lawsuit.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers_v._Koons Many thanks!
