I notice you've inserted this text:

The Picasso Administration functions as his official Estate. The U.S. copyright representative for the Picasso Administration is the [[Artists Rights Society]]<ref>http://arsny.com/requested.html | Most frequently requested artists list of the Artists Rights Society</ref>.

You've also put the equivalent in several other articles. Do you intend to go through the whole list of artists, and is there any reason it has been put in these articles to date? Ty 22:58, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


RESPONSE:
Hi Tyrenius!
Thanks for your Picasso Talk Note! I do a lot a work in research (mostly in the writing and visual arts), and have been trying to slowly add that info to wikipedia.
For visual artists, I know people tend to look at "Estate of [Artist name]" or "[Artist name] Estate" when searching for the Estate contact info, so I've been adding the ones I know that DON'T go by that rule. I'm starting with that Artists Rights Society artists, and than I wanted to add the Visual Artists and Galleries Association (VAGA) artists, and than the independent estates ("The Romare Bearden Foundation, Inc." for Romare Bearden, "Agence Photo RMN" for Brassai, etc...).
With all the Orphan Works stuff going around, I imagine people are using Wikipedia to see if an artist is under copyright. So I thought it'd be helpful to add Estate / Copyright info.
But let me know if you think it's waste! Regardless if I think it's helpful, if the larger Wikipedia community doesn't, it would be silly for me to spend the time adding info that will just be deleted!
So let me know! And thanks again for reaching out! I'm excited to be a part of this community!

Copyright status of The Scream[edit]

Hi GreatInDayton. I believe your assessment of the U.S. copyright status of The Scream is incorrect -- while it may be in copyright in Norway, it appears to indeed be public domain in the U.S. See my comments at Talk:The Scream. Jfire (talk) 15:31, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RESPONSE:
Hi Jfire! Thanks for your email!
I originally thought at the copyright status of The Scream would be worthy of a section because there IS contention about it. Some people say it's in the public domain, but the Estate certainly believes it's still under copyright (having butted heads with them about it myself in my work!).
But as it seems to causing more confusion then anything else, I'm going to delete it.
Thanks for your message! And please feel to chat again! GreatInDayton (talk) 03:08, 29 August 2008 (UTC)GreatInDayton[reply]

Thanks for your work on Jackson Pollock. That section must have gotten lost in back-and-forth over Google's celebration of his birthday... by the way:
