Supreme Court Rules Against Warhol in Prince Copyright Case.

The US Supreme Court has ruled that Andy Warhol infringed on the copyright of photographer Lynn Goldsmith when he used her original black-and-white portrait of the late singer Prince to create a series of 16 silkscreen prints. The court rejected the Andy Warhol Foundation’s claim that the silkscreens were “transformative” enough to justify fair use. The decision sets a precedent for copyright protections and fair use limitations. The case revolved around one image in particular from Warhol’s Prince series, “Orange Prince.”
