Fran, it almost sounds like YOU ought to be one of the ones to take the inititive, since it's something you appear to feel strongly about. And if it isn't, then may I ask why you're telling someone else that they should bother?
I have missed messages in this thread because I have Bjarne in my spam filter list, which routes all messages with "Bjarne" in the body of the email to my trash folder. I usually only see his messages when quoted in other people's emails, and then only by accident.
Therefore, I do not know who the artist is, where the exhibition is, and so forth. It is useless to contact the Met saying, "I think some painter somewhere in Scandanavia is violating your copyrights, but I don't know what their name is, or at what museum or gallery the violating works are exhibited." I do not even have any information as to whether any of these works are on a website, or whether Bjarne saw them in person somewhere. The Met needs information that will enable them to contact the artist.
Normally, whenever I run across a copyright violation I DO immediately report it to the copyright owner. As Bjarne has the necessary contact information, I thought it best that he do it.
Why do you find it objectionable that I suggest that Bjarne, who has the most information, should do this?
