Megan Noh, partner and co-chair Pryor Cashman's Art Law Group, was interviewed by Westlaw. View an excerpt from the interview below.

Megan Noh was asked about the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' recent ruling that found Andy Warhol's "Prince Series," which used photographer Lynn Goldsmith's photo of rock star Prince, was not protected under the fair use doctrine. Andy Warhol Found. for the Visual Arts Inc. v. Goldsmith, No. 19- 2420, 2021 WL 1148826 (2d Cir. Mar. 26, 2021). That ruling overturned a decision by U.S. District Judge John Koeltl of the Southern District of New York, who said Warhol did not violate copyright law because he transformed the photo into "something new." Andy Warhol Found. for the Visual Arts Inc. v. Goldsmith, No. 17-cv-2532, 2019 WL 2723521 (S.D.N.Y. July 1, 2019).
