Any collector who owns an original wax, plaster, or terra cotta model of a sculpture which is not protected by copyright can have it cast into bronze and sell the cast. If he doesn't own the original model, he can cast from the bronze itself -- the process is called surmoulage, and results in a product that is smaller and inferior in quality, softer in appearance and less distinct in surface detail. The ethical and unethical methods of reproducing sculpture are detailed with discussion of the 1974 College Art Association Statement on Standards for Sculptural Reproduction and Preventive Measures to Combat Unethical Casting in Bronze. In the case of Degas it was not clear whether he actually wanted his wax and clay sculptures cast. Henry Moore forbade posthumous casting in his will. Faking of Remington bronzes began soon after the artist's death. Brancusi finished all his works himself, but since his death they have been replicated by others, without his own finishing. Changing size or the medium of a piece is also condemned. An attorney notes that both legislation and self-regulation are required. -- AATA
