The case involved images Warhol created of Prince as part of a 1984 commission for Vanity Fair. Vanity Fair chose one of the resulting images — Prince with a purple face — to run in the magazine. Without it, the purple-faced and orange-faced versions of the Prince images would look the same. Vanity Fair ran just one of the images Warhol created, the purple-faced Prince, with its 1984 story. The foundation then went to court seeking to have Warhol’s images declared as not infringing on Goldsmith’s copyright.
