I agree that the WMUK shouldn't get directly involved, but if without making
any reference to the case in hand they request the same information under the
FOI then I would have thought they were indirectly rather than directly
involved.
As for whether the FOI has an exemption for artwork, well
But even if FOI is deemed to apply to photographs of artwork, they could
release the files and still maintain their claim of copyright
http://www.dca.gov.uk/foi/yourRights/index.htm#receive
They could also claim commercial interest (IMO reasonably) as a reason not
to comply with such a FOI request
As in, not the NPG, but museums who are actually willing to do a deal,
get works out as CC by-sa if not PD with a great big credit, etc.
Anyone in the UK actually done this?

The Victoria and Albert Museum worked with us on the Wikipedia Loves Art
project - that involved licensing photographs of their work under CC-BY-SA.
