Copyright violation? Apparently there is permission from the photographer. But I do not see permission from the heirs of Jacqueline de la Baume Dürrbach (1920-1989, see mutualart.com), the creator of the tapistry, and Pablo Picasso (died 1973), the maker of the painting which was the inspiration for this tapestry.

• Keep, per no copyright violation. This is a major artwork exhibited in the United Nations Building as a part of their art collection. Randy Kryn (talk) 05:17, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

  And why is this not copyright violation?

  • Is the Freedom of Panorama in the United Kingdom so broad that it includes temporary exhibitions? Because this photo was not taken in the United Nations Buildings, but during a temporary exhibition in London.
  • Is the Freedom of Panorama in the United States (where the United Nations Buildings in New York are) so broad that it includes pieces of art indoors?

  I think both these questions should be answered with "NO". So it is indeed copyright violation. And it does not matter for copyrights whether it is about a major artwork or not. JopkeB (talk) 14:42, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
