Greenfield Products Pty Ltd v. Rover-Scott Bonnar Ltd
\nThe Australian copyright case of
Greenfield Products Pty Ltd v. Rover-Scott Bonnar Ltd (1990) 17 IPR 417 is authority for the proposition that a thing not intended to be a
sculpture is not a sculpture. This seems contrary to some famous examples of sculpture, including
Marcel Duchamp's
1917 sculpture consisting of a
porcelain urinal lying on its back, entitled "Fountain", and
Carl Andre's sculpture "Equivalent III" exhibited in the
Tate Gallery in
1978, consisting of bricks stacked in a rectangle.
Nudity
Nude sculptures are more common and accepted than public nudity of real people.
