ByPieter DoormanThe first NLimage Fair on Wednesday the 12th of October was a great success. For the first time, NLimage organised a fair for picture editors, art buyers and art directors. A good 250 image users made their way Amsterdam.

The theme of the event, image use, was carried out by a series of presentations. Opening speaker was Ouke Arts, advisor and researcher with media strategy agency Thaesis. With a waterfall of images and statistics he showed new trends in the media. The highlight in his presentation where the 75 new developments and applications currently in the media. In doing so he made evident that a revolution is happening in this industry, a revolution that is not even near its end.

The British Association of Picture Libraries and Agencies (BAPLA) is waving a sad farewell to Executive Director, Simon Cliffe, who is leaving the Association after nearly three years in charge.

Cliffe was tasked with the job of creating a ‘recession proof’ Trade Association and developing a strategy that would enable BAPLA to develop the industry to be fit for purpose in the 21st century. That is now done.

His appointment in 2008 followed a strategic review commissioned by the then Executive Committee.

The artist Christo has once again taken legal action against a picture library and won. The Berlin District Court decided on 27 September 2011 to stop a picture agency from distributing photographs of the works created by Christo and his late wife Jeanne-Claude.

The German Association of picture agencies, BVPA, asked copyright attorney Professor Dr Christian Donle for a statement on this judgement:

The wrapped Reichstag and the freedom of panoramic views

According to press releases, the Berlin District Court has pronounced an injunction against a picture agency. They have also been asked to provide information and have been condemned to pay damages because the agency distributed photographs of the wrapped Reichstag. The images had been taken by a photographer – not Christo himself.
