§ 14.01. Right to reproduce works of fine art. 1. Whenever a work of
fine art is sold or otherwise transferred by or on behalf of the artist
who created it, or his heirs or personal representatives, the
reproduction right thereto is reserved to the grantor until it passes
into the public domain by act or operation of law unless such right is
sooner expressly transferred by an instrument, note or memorandum in
writing signed by the owner of the rights conveyed or his duly
authorized agent.

2. Whenever an exclusive or non-exclusive conveyance of any
reproduction right is made by the holder of such right, or his duly
authorized agent, ownership of the physical work of fine art shall be
presumed to remain with and be reserved to the grantor unless expressly
transferred in writing by an instrument, note or memorandum or by other
written means, signed by the grantor or his duly authorized agent.

3. This article shall not apply to the sale, conveyance, donation or
other transfer of the physical work of fine art which does not include a
conveyance of a reproduction right in such work.

4. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be construed to prohibit
the fair use of such work of fine art.

5. Nothing in this section shall operate or be construed to conflict
with any rights or liabilities under federal copyright law.
