Summary

[edit]
Non-free media information and use rationale true for Nancy Bowen
Description

Installation by Nancy Bowen, Spectral Evidence (installation, Westchester Center for the Arts,). The image illustrates a later body of work by Nancy Bowen: her representational sculpture and installation art of the 2020s, which examined both national and personal history. In this work, she explored the Salem witch trials (an event co-presided over by an ancestor) through a series of symbolic grave markers that stood before a ghostly, faceless life-size figure. This body of work was publicly exhibited in prominent venues and discussed in major art journals and daily press publications.

Low resolution?

Yes. The image will not affect the commercial value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original due to its low resolution and the general workings of the art market, which values the actual work of art. Because of the low resolution, illegal copies could not be made.

Purpose of use

The image has contextual significance serving an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a later body of sculpture and installation art in Nancy Bowen's career in the 2020s, when she explored more representational work concerned with history, including that of her New England family. Because the article is about an artist and her art, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this key body of work, which brought Bowen ongoing recognition through exhibitions in major venues and coverage by major critics and publications. Bowen's work of this type and this series, as well as this specific work, are discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.

Replaceable?

There is no free equivalent of this or any other of this series by Nancy Bowen, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image.

Other information

The image use is minimal in that it conveys important information that a full artwork image at a limited fair-use size cannot due to the uniquely hyper-detailed nature of the work. By providing a close-up of the artist's style and imagery, it is significantly more informative for a viewer. It is also a further protection (along with the low resolution) against affecting commercial value.
