Purpose of use

Though this three-dimensional artwork is subject to copyright until 2033, its use is permitted by the U.S. fair use laws in the Wikipedia article about the sculpture because:

  1. This is a historically significant, groundbreaking work of art by a celebrated African-American sculptor that cannot be adequately conveyed by mere prose alone.
  2. Inclusion is for encyclopedic purposes, information, education, and analysis only.
  3. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows a major type of work produced by the artist. Because the sculpture was destroyed in 1940, we have only historic photos showing it at the World's Fair site in Flushing Meadows, New York.
  4. The image is a low resolution copy of the original work and would be unlikely to impact sales of prints or be usable for commercial purposes.
Replaceable?

As the sculpture is copyrighted until 2033, any photo is a derivative of a non-free three-dimensional artwork.
