藝術家有義務證明:自己確實"沒"創作過某項作品嗎?!

 

Does an artist have the legal duty to prove that he/she didn’t create a particular artwork? In a case involving Peter Doig, a federal court judge in Chicago apparently thought so!

 

在一場美國聯邦地方法院訴訟中,擁有某幅畫作的收藏家,竟對英國知名藝術家Peter Doig提告,罕見地要其證明:自己確實「沒」畫過藏家手中所擁有的畫作!理由是:由於藝術家拒絕承認自己是畫作的真正創作者,讓藏家因此無法出售這幅畫而蒙受8百萬美元的鉅額損失!
