France jurisdiction report: Copyright and free artistic expression

The origin of the present dispute is a sculpture exhibited during a retrospective devoted to the artist at the Centre Georges Pompidou in 2014. The sculpture in question, depicting a young woman lying in the snow with, at her head, a pig carrying a barrel like a Saint Bernard, and two penguins, was inspired by an advertising graphic created by Franck Davidovici. The first and second works were both titled “Fait d’hiver”.
