An Evening of Art, Law, & Wine at the Turner Gallery
SPEAKER: Fred Goldstein, Senior Vice President and General Counsel, LACMA
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
Museums possess, own, and use copyrighted materials and works of art in a variety of ways, such as display, exhibition catalogues, online collections, and promotional materials.
Museums also create and commission copyrighted materials and works of art. Advancements in digital technology and distribution channels through the internet are creating new challenges and opportunities for museums to publish images in reliance on fair use in a rapidly developing and uncertain legal environment.
Mr. Goldstein will discuss fair use issues facing museums in fulfilling their mission to build, study and interpret collections of works of art for public benefit. In that context, Mr. Goldstein will discuss today's efforts by museums to develop and promote guidelines for museums' use of copyrighted materials and art works.
