The copyright for this image is likely owned by either the artist who created it, the individual who commissioned the work, or their legal heirs. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of artworks: for purposes of critical commentary on: the specific work in question, the artistic genre or technique employed in the artwork, or the artistic school or tradition to which the artist is associated, as applied within the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers located in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other use of this image, whether on Wikipedia or elsewhere, could potentially constitute a copyright infringement.

Though this image is potentially subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because this is a low resolution scan of only a portion of the line diagram in Spoerri’s Topographie Anécdotée du Hasard (the “Anecdoted Topography”), Galerie Lawrence, Paris [1962], a pamphlet of 53 pages, in which each item on a table was mapped in the diagram and discussed in the text. As such, it represents only a small portion of the entire work. The Anecdoted Topography is critically discussed in the article on Daniel Spoerri where this image will be used and this illustration is central to that discussion, and significantly increases readers’ understanding of the work. Withoug this image, it would be difficult to understand the design and purpose of the Annecdoted Topography, and no other image or text would be adequate.
