artistic rights
Creator ownership claims
Artistic rights are the legal protections granted to creators over their original works—paintings, music, literature, film, and other creative expressions.
These include copyright (controlling reproduction and distribution), moral rights (protecting the integrity of the work and the creator's attribution), and sometimes resale royalties.
The sculptor retained artistic rights over how the piece could be displayed.
The term often appears in contract negotiations between artists and publishers, galleries, or studios.
