The case is now in the federal court of appeals. Is Kerson a bad artist? The pictures must be ridiculous. ??

TIL about the Visual Artists Rights Act...

This is fascinating. I would have bet money that an artist that got paid for work on private property would have zero say on what happens to that work after it's done and paid for.

Awesome! Thanks.

I’m not critiquing here but I can see why the school has a problem on their hands.

I followed the links and i have to say.. They paid him for that? To each their own i guess. That does bring up the point though, he got paid. That is where the rights transfer from one person to another and the school would have been within their rights to black it out the next day imo.
