But if you went to an art gallery and SERRUPTITOUSLY photographed the art pieces and then put out a coffee book containing the images, do you owe the artist money?

Used to be the answer to that would be “no”, IF you changed the images substantially enough for them to be considered a different and original work when you release them.

However, after the Supreme Court ruled against the Andy Warhol Foundation for doing that kind of thing with someone’s copyrighted photograph, I think the answer now is probably “yes”.
