Hi, all -

I'm working on a project with a museum that will be lending numerous
works from their collection to our gallery.  For the catalogue, they are
spending a lot of effort trying to track down artists or their estates in
order to gain permission for reproduction.

I thought that museums held the right to reproduce works in their
collections.  I've borrowed from other museums and reproduced their works
in catalogues and never had this issue come up.  Anyone know what the
copyright law is in these matters?

Thanks,

Stephen
