Spreading the news! Starr I read with interest last week a discussion about dwindling fabric shopping in New York. No kidding! I've been a costume designer in New York since 1972. Way back then there were several fabric districts - 57th Street, the 30's (the Garment District), 14th Street

The distance isn't quite so bad. LA and SF are over 300 miles apart. Bayreuth and Nuremberg are about 50 miles apart. I've known people to drive farther than that for Krispy Kreme donuts! :) Wanda Pease <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ER... Bayreuth being near Nuremberg. Well, they are in much the

True, in mileage they aren't far apart. One thing I learned after living many years over there was that you don't look at mileage so much as time it takes :-). I drive well over 400 miles in a weekend to see friends in Renton, WA while I live in Portland, Oregon. Time on a good day is about 2-3

Hi Bjarne-- How odd it is that someone would paint a picture from a photo of a costume exhibit at the Met. Since it is his original oil painting, it might not be a copyright issue. However, it probably would have been better to credit the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the photos

That is an interesting question. They are his original paintings, copied from photos in the book. I'm not sure where copyright falls on this issue. If he had posted the photos from the book, yes, he would definitely need permission, and I would doubt very much if he asked for and got it--

I agree with Dawn - it does look like a derivative work. Years ago I wanted to market a needlework design based on a photo from the newspaper. I did talk to a copyright attorney about it. He said I couldn't without permission from the photographer. The example that he gave was the famous photo of

Yes, I think it is. There was, BTW, a legal case where an artist took a Victoria's Secret catalog lingerie photo, and did a painting from it for the cover of a romance novel, changing the clothes a bit (such as they were). He was sued and lost. If Bjarne is concerned he should contact the Met
