The debate over graffiti and fair use rages on with the newest addition to the list of lawsuits against big brands. Artnet reports that four graffiti artists are suing Vince Camuto, a huge designer shoe and clothing brand, for using their artwork to sell stuff.
Four artists, Joseph Tierney (Rime); Cary Patraglia (Host18); Spencer Valdez (Taboo); and Keith Rowland (Reme), claim they painted murals on Morgan Avenue and in Boerum Hill in 2015 and 2016 which were then used by Vince Camuto for a 2017 advertising campaign aptly-titled “Bushwick Beats.”
