Possibly NFC, DW, no FoP. Image contains a mural painting by Carmen Herrera (Verde, que te quiero verde, 2020/2023), photographed in the United States (no freedom of panorama). The owner of the work claims that it is in copyright, but I have to wonder as to whether the design of this mural would pass the threshold of originality requirements for copyright in the U.S. given its visual make-up - it's a series of monochrome triangles and squares. Personally I think it probably reaches the required standard based on arrangement, but I'm no expert. Defer to more informed folks. 19h00s (talk) 17:41, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand this deletion request; exactly why do you think it should be deleted? Stevensaylor (talk) 17:51, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The museum claims that the painting in this image is copyrighted. If it is indeed copyrighted, images of the painting cannot be uploaded to Commons, as the United States does not have freedom of panorama (the legal principle that allows for people to publish images of copyrighted artwork permanently installed in public). --19h00s (talk) 18:16, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps pertinent: 1) Photo shows only a detail of the mural, which extends far beyond photo frame to the right; 2) The truncation, angle of the shot, and resolution make the image useless for making copies of the actual work of art; 3) This is a architectural photo of the exterior loggia of the museum, which along with the ceiling, floor, and columns, must necessarily show a portion of the mural.
