Presentation Summary
Our guest speaker Attorney Eleanor M. Lackman of Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP will discuss the 2023 U.S. Supreme Court case Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. v. Goldsmith, which held that the famous artist Andy Warhol’s renderings of photographer Lynn Goldsmith’s photographs of music artist Prince did not qualify as transformative fair use. Of particular interest is the Supreme Court’s controversial treatment of the factor of commercial use in the fair use analysis.
