2022 Party Over its Out of Time – Does Andy Warhol’s Illustration of Prince Infringe Lynn Goldsmith’s 1981 Copyrighted Photo?

Image

 A Case of You – What Brought this About?


In 1984, artist Andy Warhol created a series of silkscreen prints and pencil illustrations depicting the musician Prince (Warhol’s illustration is shown above on the right). Warhol’s prints and illustrations were based on a photograph of Prince that was taken by photographer Lynn Goldsmith in 1981 in which she holds copyright (Goldsmith’s photo is shown above on the left). Goldsmith licensed the photograph to Vanity Fair magazine for use as an artist reference. Unbeknownst to Goldsmith, that artist was Warhol. Also unbeknownst to Goldsmith (and remaining unknown to her until 2016), Warhol did not stop with the image that Vanity Fair had commissioned him to create, but created an additional fifteen works, which together became known as the Prince Series.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Socket Shield is a family-owned business through Oliver Innovations, LLC, located in the midwestern USA. Socket Shield created a patent-protected child-resistant outlet cover. Socket Shield is easy to use and easy to install. The sleek design prevents the temptation of touch by children and provides an aesthetically pleasing option. The outlet cover has an easy-to-use sliding door that locks in place over the outlets. To use the outlet, you take the plug and use it to unlock and slide the door over for access to the outlets. Once you are finished using the outlet, you slide the door back over the outlet, which locks it back in place. This design prevents any removable pieces that could get lost or create a hassle.


Austin and Alex are the brothers and co-owners of Oliver Innovations. Austin had the idea for Socket Shield during an elementary school assignment. He brought this idea to fruition with his brother Alex who was happy to help. After years of hard work, the pre-sale to purchase Socket Shield is now available. Austin and Alex both use Socket Shield to protect their children in their own homes and hope that their product will benefit other homeowners and families like theirs.
