Subject: Re: Your article published in American Art Review

Dear Shana,

Just to clarify, what I suggested is that the article you referenced in the American Art Review was derived from an exhibition and brochure I developed for the Berkeley Art Museum, drawn largely from a private collection with ties to that institution, and that therefore I felt the appopriate permissions for intellectual property rights should be sought from the Director of Collections there, Lisa Calden (who in the past at least oversaw all permissions). You would likely also need to have consent from the American Art Review, but so long as you use the entire piece and do not lift quotes or sections out of context I have no personal objections to your use of the text.

Yours,

James Steward

Dear Dr. Steward:

Thank you for passing this information along. Could you please respond to info@tfaoi.org , copying me, and stating that you feel the Berkeley Art Museum is the likely copyright holder, and that you are amenable to having us reprint the article so long as we secure permission from them?

Thank you for your consideration of our request.

Best,

Shana

Hi Shana,

I had a chance to touch base with James and he mentioned that he does not think he in fact owns the rights to this article. He wrote the piece in conjunction with a exhibit at the Berkeley Art Museum and suggests that you seek permission from Lisa Calden at Berkeley to discuss and inquire about reprinting. Feel free to look Lisa up on the Berkeley website. Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Renee

The home page for TFAO is located at http://www.tfaoi.org .

I have been assigned to study an article authored by you: "American Vernacular: Folk Art from the Collection" published in the Dec. '94-Jan. '95 issue of American Art Review . I would like to discuss the article with you at your convenience. I spoke with Renee Jin on Friday, and she suggested I e-mail you, copying her, in order to schedule a time to chat. I shouldn't need more than 10 minutes of your time. I will want to discuss ownership of the text, and whether the text was derived from a catalogue essay or other more substantial text that might be more appropriate for inclusion in our journal.

I look forward to speaking with you about this matter.

Best regards,

Shana Johannessen

American Art Review, ISSN 0092-1327, is published on paper and noted for its scholarly content by both senior authors and younger scholars. Tel 913.451.8801. The time period focus of American Art Review is from the Colonial era through 1970. The first issue of Volume 1 of the magazine was published in September, 1973. Publication was suspended with Volume 4 in November, 1978. Publication resumed with Volume V in the Summer of 1992 and continues to the present. In the 19th century there was a journal with a similar title, The American Art Review: A Journal Devoted to The Practice, Theory, History and Archaeology of Art edited by S.R. Koehler.

From time to time, TFAO contacts copyright owners of American Art Review articles and requests permission to reprint catalogue essays from which the articles were derived. -- without illustrations -- in Resource Library. As an alternate, TFAO may obtain permission to reprint the American Art Review articles without illustrations.

Currently TFAO volunteers and contractors are reviewing articles published in American Art Review from 1992 through 1998 in alphabetical order by author's last name. Contractors enter into an independent contractor agreement with TFAO for processing specified texts. For information on contracting opportunities please click here.
