Artists have as many rights as property owners.

thats probably the problem right there. Just because i let you draw on my property doesnt mean you ahould be able to stop me if I later decide I want to erase the drawing on my property . Apparently everyone involved agreed with this logic and he would be fine if the guy had waited a completely random 90 days. So again: law is weird

So what if its weird to you?

And yes it does (related to the bold). The artist has the rights to their artwork for their lifetime, even if they dont own it. Its literally how the law is written for VARA. I dont know how else to explain this to you.

This. There is absolutely no fucking way that wins in the supreme Court unless it was there for like 20 years and was passable as evident domain.

Developer allowed them to paint on the building in the early 90s and continued to allow them to paint on it.

Here's a rundown of the history of the site.

Jerry Wolkoff buys the site.

In the early 90s, the building is rented out to artists as a massive studio space.

Wolkoff is approached by group to create legal graffiti on the property. He explicitly grants them permission to do so.

Under strict rules, artists begin to cover the building with graffiti artwork.

The site becomes known worldwide as 5 Pointz, a museum of aerosol artwork. It's a tourist attraction and revitalizes the neighborhood.

In 2013, Wolkoff decides to develop the property for condos.

The City Planning Commission approves the plans (which include walls that are to be used exclusively for curated graffiti art).

10 months before the scheduled demolition, Wolkoff has the graffiti painted over in the middle of the night.

The artists start a lawsuit over his malicious destruction of their artwork without notice.

In 2014 The building is demolished. The foundation is built for the condos.

Jerry Wolkoff attempts to copyright the name "5 Pointz" and use it for the condos, capitalizing on the fame the graffiti created for the site.

2017, Judge Frederic Block finally makes a ruling based on the jury's verdict. He has gone on record saying that the case was tipped in the artists' favor due to Wolkoff deliberately acting with the purpose of destroying their work.

It might be allowed based upon a time.period then which is what I said. Hell... If I build my shit on your land and you do not tell me to remove it within a certain amount of years, you lose the right to that piece of the property by evident domain.

there's nothing to explain. I'm simply stating that the law is weird. Everything the artists tried to save their graffiti failed because everyone sided with the property owner. However he didnt wait an arbitrary 90 days to clean graffiti off his property so now he's wrong. Its just weird to me. You're not going to make it unweird to me

You still have to wait for city permits and such for destroying or adding to your own property. I don't see how that concept is different here.

Read this earlier.

The judge decided to make him pay because he painted over them before the previous ruling came in place. There was like a law that if the art attracted people or something like that, that you needed a permit before painting over it. The guy painted over it before he got the permit (which he did get btw) and thats why the judge ruled in favor of the artist.

But continue to get upset because you dont understand the laws.

Literal 6.7 million.

There is no time period.

Physical art is the property of the artist who creates it until they die. If there are multiple artists, then its the property of all of the artists until the last one dies. Just because you own the art doesnt mean you can destroy it without getting said artists permission/giving them notice while they still legally own it.

Just because you disagree with this doesnt change the fact that this is the law.

There were like 40 pieces of art. Again; read post 88. Guy allowed it and then destroyed it in the middle of the night because he was impatient.

It's art even if you don't like it.

However it's absolutely asinine the owner of this property is being ordered to pay money to people who vandalized his property for wanting to repaint it.

He didn't paint over the graffiti (once again, artwork that was made with his explicit permission) because he was impatient, he painted over for the sole purpose of destroying their artwork. He had no intentions of repainting the building for development. His intent, and pending permits were for the demolition of the building. Painting over just the art had nothing to do with advancing the project.

Though I concede that I misread the article and that this was something the owner allowed, I still believe that the owner should have more authority over their property than the artist should have over their "canvas."

why are you @ ing me? Who cares if he gave permission before? He's allowed to change his mind. Who cares if he wanted to destroy some graffiti? It's on his private property. You haven't swayed anyone apposed to you at all. And repeating the same thing ("but he originally was ok with it!") over and over again is just annoying and again does nothing to sway anyone

Because the law with art doesnt care if you change your mind. You cant just destroy art that you own if youre not the artist and its still protected under VARA. You saying he changed his mind doesnt follow the law. You can move it, but you cant destroy it purposefully.

which again brings us back to my original point for the upteenth time: Law. Is. Weird

Thats not an argument against it though. Just because you think its weird doesnt mean its not the law. Im sorry that giving artists rights is weird to you.

and? You're argument is just "it's the law." Anyway this is a waste of time, neither side is going to be swayed by repeating the same thing around in a circle ad infinity

Because everyone is saying that it was vandalism and that the owner was in the right. Theyre 100% wrong because they dont understand the situation (he allowed it) and the fact that artists have rights when it comes to their own artwork, especially when theyre being told hey you can do this.

Now Im not sure if itd still fall under the same laws if it was true vandalism, but in this case, it wasnt.

Your feelings on whether its weird or not doesnt change the fact that the owner fucked up and has to pay for his damages.

He didn't paint over the graffiti (once again, artwork that was made with his explicit permission) because he was impatient, he painted over for the sole purpose of destroying their artwork. He had no intentions of repainting the building for development. His intent, and pending permits were for the demolition of the building. Painting over just the art had nothing to do with advancing the project.

Though I concede that I misread the article and that this was something the owner allowed, I still believe that the owner should have more authority over their property than the artist should have over their "canvas."

Not when theyre still alive and you told them to put artwork there and you fail to understand the law. You cant destroy artwork like that.

Actually I'm one of those swayed by his arguments. I came into this topic on the owner's side before reading further.

He could have done that already, all he had to do was a few days. He already managed like 3 decades, dude played himself.

What a load of shit. Hopefully those artists use that money to get some paper or something thats not a building. Or any public property.

You kidding? All they have to do is vandalize another building and wait for a big payoff.

apparently you don't understand the situation. Literally everyone agreed that the property owner has the right to clean up graffiti on his private property, even if he previously gave the go ahead for the graffiti to be put up. However he didn't wait an arbitrary 90 days so now the he is wrong because the law
