If an artist is painting recreations of Beatles covers or album sleeves and selling them, is he breaking copyright?

Similarly, does an art shop that sells them, have to pay a licence fee or is it to breaking copyright?

there must be some sort of copywright on them,i would think also they would have to pay for it as well.

it's all about permission from the right holder. Copyright subsists in the original beatles covers and also in the paintings. assuming no permission was sought then the painter probably infringes the c-right in the album covers and the shop could be injuncted from selling items that infringe the c-right.

What if it's on a relatively small scale?

Who polices this type of activity?

Where can I read more about it?
