[STOCKPHOTO] Property Release for Art Sales

[Spud...@aol.com]

My apologies if this subject has been covered before ( didn't see it in the archives) :

If I intend to sell a particular photo as 'art', as opposed to "commercial use", do I need a property release for any identifiable property in the photo ?

Is a gallery, or private sale, as 'art' considered differently than 'editorial' or 'commercial' use of a stock photo.

Also, if the identifiable item in the photo is modified in Photoshop, to eliminate the identifiable characteristic of the property, i.e. a trademarked name on an item, does this negate the need for a release (if one was required in the first place) ?

Thanks for any info /advice on this issue.
