The photographers had submitted separate, yet interrelated copyright infringement suits, accusing established appropriation artist Richard Prince of illicitly exploiting their work.
The acclaimed law firm’s successful representation of the photographers underscores the increasingly contentious relationship between contemporary art and copyright law. Cravath Swaine & Moore LLP’s progress in these cases could serve as a touchstone for future litigation involving intellectual property rights and the work of appropriation artists.
