» Richard Prince to Appeal Court's Decision
In its decision to allow Prince’s appeal, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the second circuit wrote that questions raised by the case remain “a continuing controversy capable of redress by this court,” the New York Times reports. This wording may indicate a disagreement with the original ruling, which many art-world observers worried could have a chilling effect on the work of appropriation artists and the galleries that represent them. The judge’s decision made it illegal to sell or publicly exhibit any images from “Canal Zone,” and she ordered that any unsold paintings from the series be impounded. The Gagosian Gallery, which mounted a show of “Canal Zone” and sold several of the paintings for over $10 million apiece (later having to send a letter to inform the collectors that the art they purchased was illegal), was also a defendant in the suit.
