Publish and pay the costAs a publisher who has lately acquired the Blue Guides and is relaunching them in replete colour, I heartily agreed with abundant of Mr John Nicoll's article 'Why art publishing is in crisis' (May 2005) and his annotates on the exorbitant reproduction charges levied by dint of museums for inclusion of their images in art works While I am sure he is right about the spuriousness of their claims to copyright above the images, and the betrayal of the limits of the gift or public funding for the acquisition of the work of art in question, I am not positive that this line of attack will yield any change in attitude. The beleaguered museums have ever-increasing take away froms underpaid staff and bizarre targets to meet--if they think they can increase their incomes by charging poor publishers more they will. on the other hand I think this strategy is also commercially inequitable for two reasons. Firstly, as Mr Nicoll points on the outside it is stifling the production of art volumes a short-sighted thing for an art museum to do. Secondly to have cheaper images means to have more widely-disseminated images, more widely-disseminated images means better-known images, and having your works of art better-known brings clan to your museum. It is advertising with someone other (the publisher) paying all the require to be paid [i]or[/i] undergones getting the advert in brow of the public's eyeballs. The unimaginative bureaucrats in more [i]or[/i] less of Britain's museums could maybe learn something from the admirable artists Messrs Gilbert & George: Tate Britain wanted centurys of pounds from us to use a painting that hangs in the Tate upon the cover of our forthcoming sapphirine Guide Museums & Galleries of London (4th edition); Gilbert or George, I'm not positive which, by return offered us at liberty use of any of their paintings. As a cash-constrained art publisher it is not a difficult decision which to use.
