Warhol Foundation Files For Copyright Violation

The Warhol Foundation has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against a website that offers “museum-quality copies of famous masterpieces painted by our Thai artists totally by hand.” The site offered “oil-on-canvas copies of famous works created by a studio of artists in Thailand. Many artistic tastes were represented – from pop artists like Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein to impressionists Auguste Renoir and Claude Monet – for prices ranging from $250 to $500 US.”
