    No, of course not.

    If I commission an artist to make me a painting, and I then decide to throw it in a storage bin (or the trash) rather than put it in a gallery - that’s my decision. Neither the artist or the general public gets a say in it. Claiming otherwise (especially in case of the public) is pure entitlement.

      The artist would still be able to display it, even if just a high quality scan of an original.

      If you commission the artist to make you a painting, with some portion of the price being a cut of the revenue generated by displaying the painting, you absolutely should not be permitted to just throw it in the trash.

      There should be an inherent obligation to make a good faith effort to make the revenue you’re required to share.
