I, too, appreciate the irony of posting his written word that he’d decided to not keep published. The processes of creative people is always very interesting to me.
I also have spent time with visual artists and am intrigued by the similarities and differences between how art ownership is retained (or not) after the sale. Rights vs Ownership, etc. I’ve been told by many visual artists that once they sell a painting or a photograph they no longer have, nor expect, control over what happens with that piece of art. When looked at in some ways, it seems odd to sell your children, or access to them, but still want to own, control and profit from them.
When an artist makes a thing, who are they making it for? When they sell it, does that change the thing?
