Licensing[edit]

Fair use rationale in Water Yam (artist's multiple):

1. This is a significant performance that could not be conveyed in words.
2. It is an important example of the public performance of an event-score mentioned in the article, and, whilst seminal, remains elusive and much misunderstood within the limited publications dealing with fluxus.
3. It is important to attempt to convey in images an outline of Brecht's extraordinary range and versatility as an artist.
4. There is no alternative, public domain or free-copyrighted replacement available.
5. Inclusion is for information, education and analysis only.
6. Its inclusion in the article(s) adds significantly to the article(s) because it shows the subject, or the work of the subject, of the article(s).
7. The image is a low resolution copy of the original work of such low quality that it would be unlikely to impact sales of the work.

This is a two-dimensional representation of a copyrighted sculpture, statue or any other three-dimensional work of art. As such it is a derivative work of art, and per US Copyright Act of 1976, § 106(2) whoever holds copyright of the original has the exclusive right to authorize derivative works. Per § 107 it is believed that reproduction for criticism, comment, teaching and scholarship constitutes fair use and does not infringe copyright. It is believed that the use of a picture to illustrate the three-dimensional work of art in question, to discuss the artistic genre or technique of the work of art or to discuss the artist or the school to which the artist belongs on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law.
