The Q. of appropriation in the #artworld is always vexed: is it justifiable use of publicly visible resources, or theft of someone else's work & creativity?
This is a long running debate, but in its latest iteration around Lynn Goldsmith's win against the #AndyWarhol foundation, the aspect of the Q. around the (re)use of #photography has come into clear focus.
What you think about this case will depend on how you see 'ownership' in #art!
