Our founder, Leila A. Amineddoleh had a great time briefly discussing artists’ rights and graffiti art with Jon Bristow, anchor at KCBS Radio.  They discussed the significance of the recent ruling in favor of graffiti artists in the “5Pointz case” (Cohen v. G&M Realty L.P.). In that matter, a group of graffiti artists received millions of dollars in damages after a land owner whitewashed their work. It was decided in favor of the artists after it was determined that the graffiti art rose to the level of “recognized stature.” This is the first time that graffiti art has received protection under the Visual Artists’ Rights Act.
