Photographs of copyrighted statues and of objects featuring copyrighted logos and images (Simpson's dolls) should be taken down immediately. I think photos of 2D and 3D PD art rarely can have claims of copyright, but I'm not a lawyer.
IMNAL
But as far as I understand 3D certianly can under US law (I think the court decided that it could based on camera angels and lighting and such. I belive the case involved a photo of a statue in a graveyard). Photos of 2D objects are more complex since no one appears to want to risk a case in that area (situation is even worse in the UK).
