PITTSBURGH AP – Artist Shepard Fairey, who recently admitted concealing a key mistake in a lawsuit over his use of an Associated Press photo in his famous Barack Obama “HOPE” poster, said Saturday that the error should not be viewed as “premeditated and sinister.”
Fairey was at the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh on Saturday night for the opening of an exhibit of his works – including the 4-foot-by-8-foot Obama poster. He drew a chuckle from the crowd during a question and answer session when he said, “I am learning from my mistakes, if everybody’s been keeping up with the news.”
