How accurate is it

[edit]

to describe the Architect of the Capitol as being the "owner" of this work? It seems to me that the United States Government or, more idealistically, the People of the United States should be listed as being the owners. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 21:40, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is merely based on the research and sources that I have used. If "the people of the United States" own this artwork then they own almost every single public artwork in Washington DC. Of course the Architect for the Capitol answers to the government, but, they are the governing body of most commissions and artworks seen on the Capitol grounds (in and out).

Then perhaps "owner" needs to be substituted by something else? Or perhaps we just define "owner" in our own way? Carptrash (talk) 22:15, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea, "maintained by" could even be a valid terminology? Missvain (talk) 22:56, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
