Famed “appropriation” artist Richard Prince has settled a copyright infringement lawsuit by photographer Patrick Cariou, according to a letter submitted by Cariou’s attorney on Tuesday. The terms of the agreement are confidential.
In 2008, Prince unveiled a series of 30 artworks that incorporated Cariou’s photographs of Rastafarians. Prince displayed his pieces at Manhattan’s esteemed Gagosian Gallery, which sold some of them to collectors for a combined $10.5 million. Cariou, who earned only $8,000 in royalties from a book of his photos, sued Prince and the Gagosian for copyright infringement.
