Richard Prince, a \u201cpioneer of Appropriation Art\u201d (I\u2019m not making this up), uses untouched, unacknowledged Marlboro photographs. When interviewed, photographer of the original, Jim Krantz, said, \u201cI\u2019m not\u2026mean or\u2026 vindictive,\u2026 but I would like some \u201crecognition\u201d and \u201cunderstanding.\u201d Richard Prince would have none of it. \u201cI never associated advertisements with having an author,\u201d he said in an email. In 2005, one of Richard Prince\u2019s \u201cappropriated\u201d Marlboro pictures sold for $1.2 million.<\/p>\n

Something 3:
\nThe author\/spouse dies of old age. Then Dr. Harold Seymour is an inaugural inductee into the Society for American Baseball Research\u2019s Hall of Fame because he authored a classic three volume work on the history of baseball, written from 1960-1990. His wife had been a partner in the effort from the beginning, but he never allowed her work to be co-credited with his, even — or maybe especially — when he had Alzheimer\u2019s during the writing of the third volume. It was a time and she loved him. But when the Induction Committee orally acknowledged her assistance, it was not enough. So Dorothy Jane Mills, now 81, came forward and asked for due recognition. After a 48 hour deliberation, The SABR Hall of Fame committee awarded her co-inductee status. Finally.<\/p>\n

Something 4:
\nComic book artist, Nick Simmons, declares his likesnesses to another comic an \u201chomage,\u201d never, according to a critical blogger, \u201cflat-out copies.\u201c His publication has been discontinued.<\/p>\n
Something 5.
\nAuthor Andre Aciman used the unacknowledged words of others in his novel. The book reviewer liked his writing and praised him accordingly. But the praised quote belonged to John Keats. Thus caught out, the unrepentant author speculated that the unattributed quote was \u201cperhaps unbeknownst to [the] reviewer.\u201d Oh my. Whatever happened to oh, say, quotation marks?<\/p>\n
Why is giving credit where credit is due so difficult?<\/p>\n
