‘Genius of Prince’ artwork the focus of Supreme Court arguments in copyright case

The Supreme Court will debate wither artist Andy Warhol violated copyright laws when he based a series of paintings of Prince on photographs he did not own.
In 1981, Goldsmith took a series of photographs of the musician Prince after pitching him to the photo editor of Newsweek as "the next big thing." Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
Goldsmith, now 74, has photographed portraits of rock and pop icons from Michael Jackson to Bruce Springsteen to Madonna and has been featured on more than 100 album covers. In her legal brief, Goldsmith described how she chose specific artistic touches like purple eye shadow and lip gloss for her subject and used a specific camera lens to capture a "shy" then-undiscovered Prince. "There is a reason I pick everything I pick," she stated.
