Considering Art and Appropriation

authorStaff Writer on Sep 11, 2023

Attorney Carol Steinberg will be at East Hampton Library on Thursday, September 14, at 6 p.m. to discuss “Creators & Appropriators: What the Warhol v. Goldsmith Supreme Court Decision Means for Creatives.” The talk will focus on the recent Supreme Court decision involving Andy Warhol’s use of photographer Lynn Goldsmith’s photo of the musician Prince.

Artists often have questions about what they can legally use of other artists’ works. Steinberg, who represents creatives and also teaches about artists’ rights at the School of Visual Arts, will explain how creators can protect their rights and also the legal landscape for those who appropriate. She often speaks to creators and is accustomed to explaining complex legal concepts in plain English. This talk applies to artists in all media. The program is sponsored by the East Hampton Arts Council and the Artists Alliance of East Hampton.

To register, call 631-324-0222, extension 3, or visit eventbrite.com. East Hampton Library is at 159 Main Street, East Hampton.
