I think that there are and arent every limits to appropriation in art and design. I think beca ingestion in art and design, there are different ways that artists use appropriation. Certain artists use it as their base of inspiration or parody, but there is a limit to appropriating an artwork. It depends on the tangible used for the artwork that lets it be determined if it is median(a) enough to say it has been appropriated or not. Personally, I thing it is only considered appropriation if the material used and the meaning of the artwork has been changed. For example, Jeff Koons, he is known for his animal expand sculptures made out of stainless steel with a mirror surface. Picture source http//design-milk.com/a-closer-look-at-jeff-koons/He took an everyday object and re-created it by changing the material and the size of it. He is best known for his orange expand dog that was sold at $58million. So far, there arent any bad comments approximately his balloon sculptures as the mat erial he used also intrigues people. Koons once complaint that a gallery infringed his rights by selling bookends that looks exactly like this balloon dog. But as I quote the gallery as they filed a complain for declaratory relief stating As virtually any clown rear attest, no one owns the idea of making a balloon dog, and the shape created by twisting a balloon into a dog-like form is part of the normal domain. But despite being known for his work, Koons has also been sued several times for procure infringement over the use of other artists motion-picture show and recreating it with minimal changes. One example would have to be the case of Rodgers Vs Koons. It is said that he had lost the case because Rodgers owns all copyright to the photograph he took. I persona... ...ot so successful when they attempt to do it. Although to some artists, copyright isnt an issue. But how much changes do we have to make to appropriate an art piece, for it to be considered complying with the c opyright law. The copyright law protects an artists exclusive right to reproduce or authorize others to reproduce the artists work. But the copyright law isnt as strict as we look at it to be because there isnt such a thing as supranational copyright law because in different countries, there are different agreements on what a copyright law should be about.
