[edit]

You have uploaded an image for which you claim copyright. If the image had been a general shot in the foyer of Glasgow City Council, there would have been no problem, but your image is 100% a photo of my work, and thus breaches my copyright. The piece was commissioned by Glasgow City Council, who hold the right to publish images of it but I retain the copyright. I have informed the Council of the situation, and have taken advice from DACS, the artist's support organisation who deal with such issues. I have also told the Scottish Artist's Union of my concerns. Please can you either remove the image, or make it crystal clear that this bust of Mandela is not your work, but mine, and you cannot clam the copyright, not can you monetise my work in any way. ~2025-34934-81 (talk) 18:52, 19 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
