Comment:

• This is a crop of a photo that in the terms of the UK fop law is a permanent work, in the sense that it is not transient like a performance artist. It is 'claimed not to be permanent, in the sense that its final location is in dispute- like the Elgin Marbles.

That is permanent in common usage which has nothing to do with copyright law.

• Marc Quinn said in radio interview that the installation was done in such a way that it was designed to make it difficult to remove- thus showing the artist intention to protect its permanance.
• This Bristol Mayor has stated, that the statue will be moved which he can't do if it is a transient work. He said what goes on the plinth

There has been an attempt to speedy delete, with an option of nomination this for deletion. The is a nonsense as this image is legit, and a debate needs to be had to decide help WP to understand fop. I fear that the existing fop may need to be clarified by UK case law.
