File:Neil Goodman Museum installation 2006.jpg

Museum installation by Neil Goodman, showing several works at Indiana State Museum, (cast bronze and fiberglass works, 2006). The image of a museum installation illustrates a later body of work and exhibition strategy by Neil Goodman, which characterizes his gallery work of the 2000s and 2010s, in which he presented increasingly linear and more minimal, open and three-dimensional freestanding work, in the round and in arrangements that recreated the ensemble sense of sculpture parks and emphasized interrelationships between works and motifs. This work and similar works have been publicly exhibited in prominent art museums and galleries, discussed in major art journals and daily press publications by prominent critics.

Yes

The museum installation image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a later body of work and exhibition strategy by Neil Goodman, which characterizes his gallery work of the 2000s and 2010s: his increasingly linear and more minimal, open and three-dimensional freestanding gallery sculptures, which he presented in the round and in arrangements that recreate the ensemble sense of sculpture parks and emphasize interrelationships between works and motifs. The work is formally unified by repetitions of line, module and motif (loops, arcs, arches, pyramids, wedges) and through great attention to placement, scale, and lighting often redefine and re-contextualize one another through changing vantage points and linear, rhythmic interplay. Because the article is about an artist and his work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this key freestanding body of later work and the shift in presentational mode, which was represented in major museum exhibitions, national reviews, and commissions. Goodman's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.

There is no free equivalent of this or any other of this series by Neil Goodman, and the installation no longer exists in this form, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image.

The image will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original due to its low resolution and the general workings of the art market, which values the actual work of art. Because of the low resolution, illegal copies could not be made.
