appropriation, fair use, theft

Here's a link to an article in the New York Times about appropriation and fair use in the visual arts in a digital age.  The artist, Richard Prince, lost the case in Federal District Court but is appealing.

Interesting. The Koepcke article makes it all sound very complicated.

The NYT article makes it sound more like a snowball rolling downhill.

Thanks for posting this Ken,

My students are reading it for homework soon. Here is link to Elizabeth Koepcke's, similar article, Art Law, which appeared in ArtCalendar's February 2002 magazine:

You're welcome, Stephen. My pleasure. This is a great place for members to share information, experiences and even opinions. Not to mention, their art work. I'm looking forward to a lot more of all of it in 2012.
