Hello wise list, In the museum I work for we have great examples of artist-made, crafted wooden spoons and serving forks in our collection. The Chief Curator has expressed an interest having limited edition metal (likely silver) tableware made to sell in our store, based on these wood examples. There are no heirs of the original artist (that we've found so far), nor would it be a derivative piece, rather it would be based on the pieces in the collection. Could we 1. invite artists to produce a series based on these wood originals and 2. sell these in our store?
