[THIS MAILING SENT ON BEHALF OF OUR PARTNER]

“This is a plea for funding to preserve the coyrights to my independent personal work. I am in a legal battle with the Richard Avedon Foundation, a battle that should be of great interest to anyone in the arts and the world of photography. It should resonate in the hearts and souls of all creative persons whose existence is defned by their work.” Gideon Lewin          The Richard Avedon Foundation is claiming it owns the copyrights to images Lewin created during the 16 years he worked with Richard Avedon, and for the return of prints gifted to him by Mr. Avedon. The case is pending in the United States District Court in the Southern District of New York scheduled to be heard in late June, Index No. 11-cv-08767 (KMW).    “This is not only my personal battle, but also one that may set precedents for other creative individuals who wish to protect their original work and own the rights to their work without limitations or interference by powerful institutions.”   Gideon Lewin can be emailed at gl2016@aol.com to discuss this matter directly or please visit the Generosity website at https://igg.me/at/1RYZ-Mj3DG8 to learn more and consider a donation to this cause. With much appreciation, in return for contributions, Lewin is creating limited editions of some of his work to be distributed to donors.
