If an artist commissions artisans (a ceramicist and metalworker) to do parts of a work for him and then he sells the final piece, are there subsisting copyrights in the works done by each of the artisans (which would need to be transferred to him by contract)? If so, given that the artist's resale right can't be waived, would they have to be compensated under the rules or directives on a qualifying sale of the composite item? Would a qualifying sale of the composite item be the first sale given that the artisans were already paid for their contribution? And how will an artist's resale right work after Brexit?
