The 'Urheberrecht' refers not as much to gallerys.
Copyrightable works under ยง 2 Art. 1 No. 4 of the german
'Urheberrecht' are also works of architecture.
The basic requirement is that in the specific design of a
building / plant the artistic creativity of the architect is
revealed. The design of a basic garage is not protectable, a
unique 'one of a kind' hand crafted castle could be
copyrightable.
Realistically, painting stripes on a plant as form of art is
surely questionable. Nevertheless I'm not an artist and
therefore not qualified to evaluate this matter properly...
My personal thougt (IANAL): There was a case regarding the
reconstruction of a school in germany, where the initial
architect claimed copyright. In short: he was kicked out of
the court. Therefore, I think this case will go nowhere. But
beware, germany is not a case law country.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
