US court sides with photographer in fight over Warhol art
FILE - In this 1976 file photo, pop artist Andy Warhol smiles in New York. A federal appeals court sided with a photographer Friday, March 26, 2021, in her copyright dispute over how a foundation has marketed a series of Andy Warhol works of art based on her pictures of Prince. In a statement, Goldsmith said she was grateful to the outcome in the 4-year-old fight initiated by a lawsuit from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. โOver fifty years of established art history and popular consensus confirms that Andy Warhol is one of the most transformative artists of the 20th Century,โ Nikas said in a statement. AdโWe feel compelled to clarify that it is entirely irrelevant to this analysis that โeach Prince Series work is immediately recognizable as a โWarhol,โโ the appeals court said.
