From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Just edit the photograph so that it does not depict all or substantially all of the sculpture, half of it perhaps, and it will qualify as "fair use". P.S. I am an attorney.
- That's not necessary. It should, however, use the tag {{Statue}} if anyone wants to claim fair-use of this image. A fair use rationale is also necessary. User:Angr 15:36, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- According to [1], the courts ruled in Letter Edged in Black Press, Inc. v. Public Building Commission of Chicago, 320 F. Supp. 1303 (N.D. Ill. 1970) that the city dedicated the statue to the public domain by general publication. howcheng {chat} 16:51, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

From section 18 of the linked ruling:
- In Letter Edged in Black, the question was whether the city had dedicated a Picasso sculpture (located in front of the Chicago Civic Center) to the public domain by general publication. The city had done the following: it carried out a massive campaign to publicize the monumental sculpture; it placed a maquette (portable model of the sculpture) on exhibition at a local museum; it gave photographs to the public upon request; it arranged for pictures of the sculpture to appear in several magazines of large national circulation; it sold a postcard featuring the sculpture; and it distributed numerous publications and reports containing photographs of the sculpture. Letter Edged in Black, 320 F. Supp. at 1306-07. After stating the controlling legal principles with regard to general and limited publication, the Letter Edged in Black court stated its view that the cumulation of these various acts by the city equated to general publication.
