The Supreme Court today heard a case today about a drawing that Andy Warhol did of Prince in 1984. Warhol died three years later. The drawing was taken from a photograph by Lynn Goldsmith. She’s suing the Warhol Foundation for copyright infringement. At issue is whether Warhol’s work is sufficiently its own and not just a copy of the photo.
Who owns Andy Warhol’s silkscreen print of Prince?
