Hi Guy,
My understanding of copyright is this: You own the intellectual property forever, unless you specifically waive those rights. Otherwise the image is yours in perpetuity, even if the tangible sculpture is not. That means your client can show the piece anyway he chooses but may not reproduce it in print ... specifically as an endorsement ... without your consent.
The sculptures I did for The Swan I can't even show on my web site (I do, but you need a password) FOX bought the intellectual rights to everything I did. I can, however, use images of other sculptures in any way I choose, even if the current owner of the sculpture doesn't approve. He, however, doesn't have the same rights.
Of course all this really boils down to enforceability. Even if the law is on your side, it's up to you to sue for damages. Often a cease and desist letter or maybe just a friendly written request is a better way to go.
