I think that there are and arent any limits to annexation in art and design. I think because in art and design, there are varied ways that artists use appropriation. Certain artists use it as their base of inspiration or parody, hardly there is a limit to appropriating an artistic creation. It depends on the material used for the artwork that lets it be determined if it is fair enough to say it has been appropriated or not. Person on the wholey, 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 wallow sculptures made out of innocuous steel with a mirror surface. Picture source http//design-milk.com/a-closer-look-at-jeff-koons/He took an terrestrial object and re-created it by changing the material and the size of it. He is best known for his orange balloon dog that was sold at $58million. So far, there arent any bad comments about his balloon sculptures as the material he used in any case intrigues people. Koons once heraldic bearing 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 antic can attest, no one owns the idea of making a balloon dog, and the shape created by twisting a balloon into a dog-like striving is part of the public domain. But despite being known for his work, Koons has also been sued several times for copyright infringement over the use of former(a) artists image and recreating it with minimal changes. One example would ware 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 onslaught 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 com plying with the copyright virtue. 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.
