Judge to Shepard Fairey – wtf you doing destroying evidence?

Posted: April 7th, 2010 | Author: | Category: Art News | Tags: | No Comments »

More news in the ongoing Shepard Fairey / AP lawsuit over the use of a photograph to create Fairey’s iconic HOPE poster. Back in October, Fairey admitted to submitting false images into evidence and deleting images off of his computer that clearly showed which photograph he used to create his poster. A judge has ordered Fairey to say exactly which files were deleted and when, as well as name anybody who may have helped him tamper with evidence (originally, Shepard claimed that he alone was involved in the cover-up. At this point, it’s unclear if his statement was accurate or not.)
