Doesn't mean you can sell a print of it, though. Look out, or you might live to regret it, if the creator of the art is persistent about protecting their rights....... I think it's a cool picture, by the way.

I'll not sell a print since I just found out its copy righted statue. I did not know. I'll get release form if I do first.Thanks

Interesting take on this. So it is not acceptable to photograph a sculpture and then sell the photo?

I doubt any copyright protection on the statue forbids the taking and posting of photographs. Selling the print may be a different story, but probably nothing wrong with what the OP did here. Anyway, superb picture, although I am sure the original artwork is also superb.

I think the confusion was that I and others didn't realize this was a statue, I thought it was a model and setup by ONE PHOTOGRAPHER, but it's not, it's a statue so many people have taken pictures of it, that's where the confusion may be. I'm fine now, I get it, it's cool and I'm glad it's an original image

Shawn, as this is a picture of someone else's artwork I thought it appropriate that the artist be identified and because it was offered for sale, which the first two comments backup, I thought it reasonable and prudent that copyright be noted. The following is from the Goldwell site shown above. "ATTENTION PHOTOGRAPHERS AND FILMMAKERS: The Goldwell Open Air Museum is private property and its artworks on display are protected by copyright.
