Jeff Koons Found Liable for Copyright Infringement. Again. | PDNPulse

A French court finds that his kitschy sculpture of two naked children is a rip-off of a photograph by Jean-François Bauret.

Bauret’s family sued Koons over a 1988 sculpture (shown at right) titled Naked, which closely copied a 1975 photograph by Bauret titled Enfants. The black-and-white photograph depicts two naked children holding hands. The Koons sculpture depicts two naked children with body positions and haircuts that are nearly identical to those in the photograph.
