I wish to examine a type of art called appropriation art and copyright law applicable to art and how this law can affect artists and the market through investigating the history of copyright law and lawsuits brought against artists for copyright infringement. The questions I will address in my final page include but are not limited to: What does the law stipulate and how can it be used to help or limit artists’ creative process? What is the law’s influence the market?
