I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Hello and thank you for creating the article on Louise Nevelson Plaza in lower Manhattan. It looks great! It's hard to believe we did not have an article on this important public art work/public space.
Reviewer:SusunW (
talk·contribs) I'll look at this one. Note, I am a fairly slow reviewer and meticulous. I will likely add comments that are not part of the GA review but which I think will improve the article. Please feel free to contest anything, I am no expert on public art, and I view the review process as a conversation and collaboration to improve articles.

Caveat, I am no photograph expert, although I have a lot of experience with researching them. I reserve the right to "phone a friend"...
Lede image: Although the angle of the sculptures is different, it does appear that these were installed before the
14 April 1977 dedication, not copyrighted per the
1976 Artworks or
1977 Artworks catalogs, and were uploaded with cc licensing on the photograph.
happy to replace per my note below; waiting for SusunW to confirm if they're okay with that solution for the infobox
Lunar Landscape: How do we know it was
installed on 1 January 1959 and not copyrighted? Freedom of panorama for art installations says “any public artwork installed before 1978 without a copyright notice is also in the public domain (unless the copyright owner actively prevented anyone from copying or photographing the work until 1978)”. Artworks catalogs from
1959 and
1960 confirm no copyright filed, if that is instead the date of creation, but how do we know that is correct either?
I realized the attribution is "public domain" already, so I apologize about the confusion. What I mean is that we can potentially include the link to the museum website in image description to clarify no copyright is needed.
I am confident that the 1959-1960 date refers to the sculpture's creation date based on the link you gave, and
others and per my search of the copyright catalogs the sculpture wasn't copyrighted when it was created. But the criteria for panorama says it is based on installation, so the question is when was it first shown? The 1999.3 format makes me think that it wasn't acquired by the Amon Carter Museum before 1999, so where was it first displayed? My thought is that if we cannot prove installation occurred before 1978, then it has be clear under life of author +70. There are tons of pieces called "Lunar Landscape" by a whole bunch of different artists, so trying to figure it out isn't simple. Honestly it's very confusing.

Okay, let's try another way,
this has a photo of another piece. The photograph was published in Art Magazine in 1970 without a photographer credited and says the sculpture was created in 1969 and shown at the Whitney, so we know it was shown before 1978. Nevelson did not copyright the work per the
1969 Artwork catalog. The catalog for
1970 Periodicals shows that volume 45 #1 was copyrighted as B623289. That copyright would have lasted 28 years and needed to be renewed. I find no renewals
for the registration number. I think if you could figure out how to brighten the photo, it clearly ticks all the boxes to be in the public domain. Not copyrighted by the sculptor, not copyrighted by the photographer, copyright not renewed on the publishers publishing of the photograph, and displayed before 1978. Your thoughts?

Hello @
SusunW, when I uploaded the photos I took at the Louise Nevelson Plaza, I released my rights and did not copyright them. Where do you see on the image files that I had copyrighted them? If there is something I should change on the image file pages I'll do that. I took them specifically as a favor to the article creator,
Ppt91 whose work here on WP I very much admire. Good luck to all with the GA review, and happy holidays!

Thank you
Netherzone, happy holidays to you as well. Perhaps I am mistaken, as I don't work typically with images of public art, but both of the others taken by Beyond my Ken and jim.henderson have a "Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike International" license, which I take to be the release of the photograph license since they are clearly not the creators of the sculpture. Possibly both licenses need to appear? One to show the sculpture is not copyrighted and one to show the photograph is not? I honestly don't know and am happy to ask. Maybe
GRuban, my go-to photo guy is around?

I think I found the confusion with the licensing. I had originally uploaded the images on a "self|cc-by-sa-4.0" license to release my photo, but another editor replaced that with a "int:license-header" (for images made between 1926-1977) to release the sculpture. Perhaps both of the licenses should be on the image files?

@
Netherzone and
Ppt91: It does take a village! I absolutely admit I have no clue if both licenses need to be there. I lean to having both, but again, I am no expert on 3D art tags. If we don't have both licenses, I lean to cc-by-sa for all of the photos by Netherzone, Beyond my Ken, and jim.henderson and adding to the description that "the sculptures were installed before the
14 April 1977 dedication and not copyrighted per the
1976 Artworks or
1977 Artworks catalogs" to show that the sculptures themselves weren't copyrighted. Does that seem reasonable? (I did warn you that I am meticulous.) However you want to show the photos is fine Ppt91. They are all not copyrighted, it's just a matter of figuring out the licensing.

@
SusunW Apologies for my temporary silence (I was away from my computer). Thank you so much for being so thorough and involved in figuring this out. A few thoughts below.
I like the idea of using the other artwork, but before we move forward with that solution, I want to make sure (since we have @
Buidhe and @
Netherzone here) that Amon Carter's release of copyright--and them stating it is in public domain--isn't sufficient to override these issues we are currently discussing.
My understanding has been that as long as the museum explicitly
states it's free of copyrights, we don't need to worry about the date it was first exhibited or shown to the public. Again, I am sorry if I am misunderstanding something fundamental here, but it looks like Amon Carter is very explicit about instances where reproduction only falls under free use (see more
here) or if the status is undetermined.
When one compares the copyright for Louise Nevelson's sculptures at other institutions, few if any are in public domain. For instance, the notice attached to Sky Cathedral (1958) from the Buffalo AKG Art Museum clearly states that the
work is copyrighted and may be reproduced for educational purposes only with appropriate free-use rationale included.
This might mean two things: either Amon Carter made an error in attribution, which I think is highly unlikely, or it is indeed public domain and we acknowledge it as such, without needing to look for any more rationale.
Ppt91 I honestly do not know. (It is literally why I always ask for a second opinion before uploading any photograph to commons. The rules are very complex and there are so many nuances.) Interested to see the others weigh in.
SusunW (

If a reputable organization like a museum says the status is public domain, I am inclined to believe it for the jurisdiction the museum is in. (for example, an artwork could be public domain in one country but still under copyright in others) (

Wilson (2011) should be marked {{subscription required|via=[[Sage Publishing|SAGE Journals]]}} as one can only view full text with a subscription or WP library access. Ydone

U.S. to gain recognition for public art.[7][3] Flip order to 3, 7 Ydone
"Mighty Buildings" in the NY Times has an archived copy in
wayback, which I would add, since the article is paywalled from Mexico and maybe elsewhere. Ydone
Wilson (2016) E-books use a search term to find the info, i.e. instead of page= use loc=Chapter x (Search phrase "blah blah"). (I can find neither "high mountains towering over a tiny valley" or "oasis from the city's hurly-burly" in this book…cite 13?) Ydone (found a printed source with this content and changed the footnote)
Yes, Swartz says born in "Kiev", as do other sources but DiBenedetto says "near Kiev", Wilson (2011) p. 91 and Wilson (2016) says in Pereyaslav (Chapter 1 search term doesn't work but it's on the first page of that chapter), and Danto, et al p. 6 simply says in Ukraine.
Very good catch. I've included a footnote to Wilson's 2016 biography Louise Nevelson: Art is Life to support Pereyeslav and might add a separate note explaining that later in her life Nevelson herself would say she was born in Kyiv to make it easier for people unfamiliar with her actual birth place. I also am sticking to "Kyiv" spelling, which is romanized from Ukrainian rather than "Kiev" which is romanized from Russian.

She moved to Lower Manhattan…New paragraph should introduce the subject using the noun before introducing a pronoun instead of the noun. Lose "she" add Nevelson. Ydone
During the 1970s, Nevelson received commissions check citation page. I pulled up 3 separated versions and the only mention I see of Chapel of the Good Shepherd is on p. 328 and says nothing about commissions. (I do see the information on page 112 of Carrascal Pérez) Ydone I rephrased it to reflect the Chapel of the Good Shepherd only, linked it to the Carrascal Pérez article since it is discussed there in the context of the plaza design, and moved further down to improve the flow. Let me know if you'd like me to edit further. Happy to do so!
Overall, well written, informative and an enjoyable read. I learned something, which is always my bar for an article. Thank you for the work on the article. If we can figure out the photos and you can wrap up the few remaining points, I will be happy to pass it.

Ppt91 I'm fine with that. If you just make the Beyond my Ken and jim.henderson licensing sections match Netherzone's I think we can finally be done with the photos. I truly appreciate everyone working together on this.

@
SusunW Thank you! I just made the image edits. Let me know if they look ok (added the pd to license for sculptures along with the description edits you provided above). I've also addressed the remaining points for GA review below. Is there anything I may have missed? Happy to make any further adjustments. I really appreciate your patience and thoroughness!

I think we're good. As you say, no one could question whether we've done the necessary due diligence on the images
. Give me a few minutes to wrap it up and I'll pass it.

There is an open link to
Cullen-DuPont, which I would add Ydone
Wilson (2011) should be marked {{subscription required|via=[[Sage Publishing|SAGE Journals]]}} as one can only view full text with a subscription or WP library access. Ydone
Wall Street Journal article needs subscription required template (I cannot even find an open access link in wayback at archive.org) Ydone
Swartz (Grove Art) also needs subscription required template via=Oxford Art Online Ydone
U.S. to gain recognition for public art.[7][3] Flip order to 3, 7 Ydone
"Mighty Buildings" in the NY Times has an archived copy in
wayback, which I would add, since the article is paywalled from Mexico and maybe elsewhere. Ydone
Wilson (2016) E-books use a search term to find the info, i.e. instead of page= use loc=Chapter x (Search phrase "blah blah"). (I can find neither "high mountains towering over a tiny valley" or "oasis from the city's hurly-burly" in this book…cite 13?) Ydone (found a printed source with this content and changed the footnote)
Yes, Swartz says born in "Kiev", as do other sources but DiBenedetto says "near Kiev", Wilson (2011) p. 91 and Wilson (2016) says in Pereyaslav (Chapter 1 search term doesn't work but it's on the first page of that chapter), and Danto, et al p. 6 simply says in Ukraine.
Very good catch. I've included a footnote to Wilson's 2016 biography Louise Nevelson: Art is Life to support Pereyeslav and might add a separate note explaining that later in her life Nevelson herself would say she was born in Kyiv to make it easier for people unfamiliar with her actual birth place. I also am sticking to "Kyiv" spelling, which is romanized from Ukrainian rather than "Kiev" which is romanized from Russian.

She moved to Lower Manhattan…New paragraph should introduce the subject using the noun before introducing a pronoun instead of the noun. Lose "she" add Nevelson. Ydone
During the 1970s, Nevelson received commissions check citation page. I pulled up 3 separated versions and the only mention I see of Chapel of the Good Shepherd is on p. 328 and says nothing about commissions. (I do see the information on page 112 of Carrascal Pérez) Ydone I rephrased it to reflect the Chapel of the Good Shepherd only, linked it to the Carrascal Pérez article since it is discussed there in the context of the plaza design, and moved further down to improve the flow. Let me know if you'd like me to edit further. Happy to do so!
Overall, well written, informative and an enjoyable read. I learned something, which is always my bar for an article. Thank you for the work on the article. If we can figure out the photos and you can wrap up the few remaining points, I will be happy to pass it.
