I believe the general idea is to keep people from simply reproducing an existing image with the camera. You can use artwork as part of a larger composition as long as you do something obvious in the capture that makes the photograph something more than just artwork. If the viewers have only the artwork to react to, then it will probably be DQ'd. If you have any doubts, you should run it by the SC for an opinion.
FWIW, we're actively discussing ways to clarify this rule.
