How do I get copyright permission to reproduce Catholic Worker art by Fritz Eichenberg, Ade Bethune, and others?
• Fritz Eichenberg used to make his art work available free to any Catholic Worker publication when he was alive. Since he has passed on, his artistic estate is being managed by an intellectual property firm named VAGA: Visual Artists and Galleries Association, Inc. They do not share Eichenberg’s philosophy and will charge you an arm and a leg to reproduce his work if you decide to contact them even for nonprofit, non-commercial use. It’s sad, really, and we would hope that some generous benefactor would buy the rights to Eichenberg’s Catholic Worker pieces and donate them to the Catholic Worker Archives so that they might be publicly and freely available for non-commercial use as he had intended. Most CW newspapers with limited circulation don’t know or don’t care about this and continue to use Eichenberg’s work as before.
