6. TITLE TO WORK; REMOVAL OR RELOCATION; WARRANTIES BY ARTIST.
6.1
Title to the Artwork and all work created by Artist’s Services under this Agreement will
become property of the City upon the Artist’s receipt of the final payment under this
Agreement. The City shall have the right to reproduce the Artwork as provided in this
Agreement and outlined in Section 7.
6.2
Notwithstanding any provision of law, including but not limited to VARA, the parties agree
that removal, destruction, or relocation of the Artwork may occur in accordance with the
City’s “Guidelines for Review and Disposition of Art.” Circumstances may arise that would
make it prudent or desirable for the City to remove the Artwork from public display. The
Parties hereby acknowledge that (i) the Artwork when installed shall be incorporated within
and made a part of the Project in such a way that removing the Artwork from the Project, or
destruction or modification of the Project, may cause the destruction, distortion, mutilation,
or other modification of the Artwork; and (ii) the Artwork shall be the property of the City.
5
The City agrees that it will not consent to intentional alteration, modification, change,
destruction of or damage to the Artwork without consulting the Artist; provided, however,
that notwithstanding the foregoing and the rights of integrity conferred by 17 U.S.C Section
106(A)(a) and any other similar rights granted by federal or state law the City shall have the
right, consistent with its ownership of the Artwork, to alter, modify, change, or destroy the
Artwork after reasonable consultation with the Artist. "Alteration" of the Artwork includes,
but is not limited to, a change in the interrelationship or relative locations of parts of the Work.
In the event of any alteration or damage, whether intentional, accidental, within or without the
control of the City or otherwise, the Artist shall have the right to disclaim authorship of the
Artwork; and upon written request of the Artist to the City shall remove the identification
plaque at its expense. The Artist may take such other action as he may choose in order to
disavow the Artwork. Because the Artwork is site specific, any alteration or removal without
the Artist's permission will effectively destroy the Artwork.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to the extent practicable, the Artist shall have the
opportunity to comment on all repairs to and restorations of the Artwork made during the
Artist’s lifetime. The City will give written notice to the Artist prior to undertaking repairs or
restoration of the Artwork, and the Artist shall have thirty (30) days from the date that the
notice is sent by the City to advise the City, as specified in the notice, of the Artist’s wish to
so comment. Notice will only be sent by the City to the address provided by the Artist, in
keeping with the Communications provision of this Agreement in Section 16. Artist
understands that the City’s repairs and restoration of the Artwork will be limited and
determined in significant part by funding decisions of the City, in which decisions Artist shall
have no say or control. If Artist is not available to comment on repairs or restoration, the City
agrees that any repairs and restorations will reasonably retain the Artist’s conceptual intent.
6.3
Warranties of Title: The Artist represents and warrants that:
