Pictured above is our top pick of those whose works will, on 1st January 2015, be entering the public domain in many countries around the world. Of the eleven featured, eight will be entering the public domain in countries with a ‘life plus 70 years’ copyright term (e.g. most European Union members, Brazil, Israel, Nigeria, Russia, Turkey, etc.) and three in countries with a ‘life plus 50 years’ copyright term (e.g. Canada, New Zealand, and many countries in Asia and Africa). As always it’s a sundry and diverse rabble who’ve assembled for our graduation photo – including two giants of 20th-century abstract art, the creator of one of the world’s most reproduced paintings, the creator of one of the world’s best-loved children’s books, and the creator of the world’s most read about, and watched, Secret Service agents.
