| COMPANY PROFILE |
In June
1973 Lin Bloomfield founded Bloomfield Galleries in Sydney, first at Crows
Nest and from 1975 to 1994 in Paddington. The gallery exhibited established
and up-and-coming artists with solo and group exhibitions. Major exhibitions
included Norman Lindsay, Frank Hinder, Ralph Balson, Bill Pidgeon and Vincent
Brown. Other artists represented by the gallery were Jeremy Gordon, Angus
Nivison, Hadyn Wilson, Liz Cumming, Charlie Cooper, Barry Otto and Ruth
Faeber.
From 1995 to 1999 the gallery operated from premises in North Sydney and
from 2000 Bloomfield Galleries relocated to premises in Bungendore, near
Canberra.
Odana Editions was established in 1974 originally as the publishing arm
of Bloomfield Galleries. The Norman Lindsay Facsimile Etchings were the
first foray into publishing for Odana. From the publication of Odana's
first book, Frank Hinder: Lithographs in 1978, Odana Editions has
developed into an independent publisher of high quality books on Australian
artists and limited edition art reproductions by Norman Lindsay.
Major published works include The Complete Etchings of Norman Lindsay in
1998, Norman Lindsay Etchings: Catalogue Raisonné in 1999.
Thesewere followed by Norman Lindsay: Watercolours 1897-1969 in
2003 and Norman Lindsay: Oil Paintings in 2006. Odana published
Rose Lindsay's two books in one volume titled Rose Lindsay: A Model
Life in 2001 and in the same year released Norman Lindsay: Artful
Cats.
In 2003 Norman Lindsay: Watercolours 1897-1969 was released
followed by Norman Lindsay: Oil Paintings 1889-1969 in 2006.
2008 saw the release of Norman Lindsay: 80 Years of Pencil Drawing. These
three monographs were all researched and written by Lin.
Future publications include a companion volume to The Complete
Etchings of Norman Lindsay on Norman's lithographs and woodblocks
written by Robert Holden and monographs on Norman's pen and ink drawings,
again by Lin.
Lin researches, writes and edits the majority of Odana Editions' books
as well as being a company director. Jane and Rebecca Bloomfield (Lin's
daughters) now run the gallery and publishing business. The move to Bungendore,
in our own premises, has strengthened our ability to continue publishing
and exhibit and sell original works of art. |
| COPYRIGHT |
In Australia
all art works are protected under Copyright © and this extends
for a period of 70 years after the artist's death. It is illegal
to copy an artist's work by any means without the specific approval
of the copyright holder. In the case of Norman Lindsay's etchings,
Lin Bloomfield owns the copyright and permission must be obtained
before reproduction of any kind is instigated.
There seems to be confusion in many quarters concerning copyright.
Copyright is personal property and as such can be sold, licensed
or left in one's will. Copyright protection in Australia is wholly
statutory and is provided by the Copyright Act 1968.
The Copyright Act states that the owner of the copyright in an artistic work has the
exclusive right to:
• reproduce the work in material form
• publish the work
• include the work in a television broadcast
• cause a television program that includes the work, to be
transmitted to subscribers to a diffusion service (cable)
The Copyright Act defines 'artistic work' as follows:
a painting, sculpture, drawing, engraving or photograph, whether
the work is of artistic quality or not.
Engraving includes an etching,
lithograph, product of photogravure, woodblock print or similar
work, not being a photograph.
Sculpture includes a cast
or model made for the purposes of sculpture.
Copyright subsists in an
artistic work for the life of its author plus 70 years The period
is calculated from the end of the calendar year in which the artist
died to the end of the fiftieth year. If, in the case of engraving,
it is first published posthumously, the copyright period will last
for 70 years from the end of the calendar year in which the work
is first published.
Copyright in photography
differs from the above. Copyright for photographs taken before 1
May 1969 subsists for 70 years from the end of the calendar year
in which the photo was taken. Photographs taken after 1 May 1969
also have a 70 year copyright period from the end of the calendar
year in which the photo was first published. The photographer's
death is irrelevant to the calculation
of the copyright period. |
