ANDY WARHOL FOUNDATION FOR VISUAL ARTS, INC. 
v. GOLDSMITH 
KAGAN, J., dissenting 

174.  And  as  before,  Warhol  converted  the  cropped  photo 
into a higher-contrast image, incorporated into a silkscreen.
That image isolated and exaggerated the darkest details of
Prince’s head; it also reduced his “natural, angled position,”
presenting  him  in  a  more  face-forward  way.  Id.,  at  223. 
Warhol  traced,  painted,  and  inked,  as  earlier  described.
See supra, at 5–6.  He also made a second silkscreen, based 
on his tracings; the ink he passed through that screen left
differently  colored,  out-of-kilter  lines  around  Prince’s  face 
and hair (a bit hard to see in the reproduction below—more 
pronounced in the original).  Altogether, Warhol made 14 
prints and two drawings—the Prince series—in a range of 
unnatural, lurid hues.  See Appendix, ante, at 39.  Vanity
Fair chose the Purple Prince to accompany an article on the 
musician.  Thirty-two  years  later,  just  after  Prince  died,
Condé Nast paid Warhol (now actually his foundation, see 
supra, at 1, n. 1) to use the Orange Prince on the cover of a 
special commemorative magazine.  A picture (or two), as the 
saying  goes,  is  worth  a  thousand  words,  so  here  is  what 
those magazines published:
