Irony, Thy Name is Warhol
The Washington Post runs an AP wirestory reporting that the Andy Warhol Foundation has sued a company that makes hand painted reproductions of any artwork (Warhol Foundation Sues Online Service).
On its Web site, Arts-Studio.com offers hand-painted reproductions of Warhol works, ranging in price from $209 to $329. They are among copies of more than 2,000 works by more than 60 well-known artists advertised by the service, which also offers to copy any oil painting desired by a customer.
Okay, this is almost certainly copyright violation (the website appears to be down), and is not cool. But it is the Warhol Foundation that is first to sue? Warhol?
