It may be more of a copyright issue regarding the photographer rather than the sculptor - presumably the building and sculpture are on a public street where anyone can go take a picture but the photographer who took that particular image may have copyright. Check it out with a lawyer.

Please excuse the cross posting.


We have a slide made in the 1990s that features a Dallas building and the
sculpture in front of it.  A patron wants to reproduce the slide to hang in
the wall of her office conference room.  Is it a violation of the
sculpture's copyright to reproduce the slide for her?
