FLLW Foundation Licensing

[DRN]

Books, notecards, neckties, scarves, drink coasters...even sneakers, and home center bathroom furnishings... a non-profit foundation with two needy historical sites to maintain has to make a dollar to keep its ceilings dry and its staff fed.

This licensee makes me smile:

Some say it's kitsch, I say it's fun.

In addition to being fun and colorful, these silk screen prints are huge. (Maybe wall art now needs to keep up with big-screen televisions ?) Anyway, it's genuine art, not fake Wright. Bravo !

Notice the guys mixing concrete in the TWest print.

I license is probably needed to create the cartoon of FLW, but doubt any are needed to use the architecture. There was a series of cartoon renditions of Wright designs a few years ago, and some posters by another art printer. I don't think they had the Foundation stamp or needed it. You'd really only need the stamp if you're calling something a Frank Lloyd Wright product

Just one of many many threads and discussions here about copyright---this brief one chosen essentially at random:

Hanging such art in one's home would require it to be decorated with pink wall-to-wall shag carpeting, cottage cheese ceilings (with sparkles), bean bag chairs, lava lamps, eye-burning incense and Ravi Shankar sitar music on a continuous 8-track loop.

OMG, you've described my abode to a T !

Just kidding . . .
