The photo of a artwork under copyright is considered a derivative work UNLESS it has significant artistic changes. Tchnically you own the copyright of the photo but its encumbered by considered a derivative work.

Just like sampling music can get you in trouble.

Okay, go into a gallery, take a photo of an artist painting still under copyright, and try selling them online and see how long that lasts... ;)
