The Art Newspaper: Painter Pat Lipsky sues over digitally ‘distorted’ images of her work.
This is interesting:
"Lipsky is suing under New York State’s 1984 Artist Authorship Rights Act, ... a precursor to the 1990 Visual Artists Rights Act .... Megan E. Noh, a partner at the New York law firm Pryor Cashman who is representing the artist, says that the federal statute 'does not apply to the distortion of images of artworks but only to the physical distortion and destruction of the actual work,' while the older New York law expressly covers reproductions, such as photographs used for sales purposes."
