Abstract
On March 28, 2022, the Supreme Court granted certiorari in Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. v. Goldsmith. Andy Warhol created sixteen silkscreen works of art based on Lynn Goldsmith’s photograph of Prince Rogers Nelson, who, at the time Goldsmith took the photograph, was an aspiring musician known as Prince. In 2016, Goldsmith discovered Warhol’s work, which was clearly based on her photograph of the now-famous musician. The lawsuit between the Andy Warhol Foundation and Goldsmith ensued.
