Reproduction rights, by poofly on Mar 12, 2018 19:55:40 GMT 1, Not really sure I can or want to do anything about it, but after buying an original piece of artwork (big canvas) a few years ago, I found out recently that a gallery (not the one who showed the original) produced a set of 10 prints of the original that I own. I bought from the debut UK Solo show for the artist, all new work for the show, and I bought from the preview so no-one else has ever owned it, except of course the artist.
I realise that the artist might still own rights to the image, I just think its bad form to not even let me know it was happening.
more of a rant than anything but it just doesn't feel right.

But it is bad form not to let you know... it would have been a nice gesture to let you know and maybe give you an AP of the print. But in my opinion the original would only increase in value when a print is done. The image will get more known and also more desirable. It is also a compliment to your taste and purchase that the artist thinks the original is worth printing.
So not all bad IMO ;-)

The artist does remains to own all rights. Since the Publisher of the print was not the one that sold the canvas (as I understand it) they might not know who's the current owner. Not that they need your permission, but as a courtesy.
Fake is right though , a canvas on which a print is based is more desirable, thus more valuable. So I would be happy. Not really "rant material" .

Reproduction rights, by chr1s on Mar 12, 2018 22:30:45 GMT 1, I bought an original drawing from an artist a few years back. Recently I saw that the image is being used for a print and a t-shirt. The sale of the prints and the shirt are raising raising money for a worthy cause. I was so thrilled to see this that I purchased a shirt and a print.

Fabulous drawing by a smashing artist. Be happy itโs the original and others have a print.
