Program Summary

The US Supreme Court issued a 70+ page 7-2 opinion May 18, 2023, affirming the Second Circuit and holding Warhol Foundation’s use of photographer Goldberg was not fair use (Andy Warhol Foundation v. Goldsmith, 598 U.S. _(2023)). The Supreme Court opinion validates and vindicates legal commentator Alexandra Darraby, synopsized in the opinion that ”Goldsmith’s original works…are entitled to copyright protection, even against famous artists.”

The Court focused only on first factor of fair use--purpose and character, balancing the preamble of Section 107 Fair Use statutory provision against precental first factor analysis. Justice Sotomayer, delivering the opinion for the Court, Justics Gorsuch and Jackson concurring, explains the nuances of purposes, commercial versus non commercial uses, and degree. The Opinion is a benchmark for understanding art, art history, and the highly segmented art markets. Alexandra Darraby, a former gallerist and legal commentator for Thomson Reuters West, has published and lectured on these issues for decades. Join her to parse the Court’s considerations to empower your own analysis and abilities on future fair use matters, regardless of content. subject matter.
