Omaggio in Histoire(s) du cinéma at the Locarno Film Festival (2012) [6] Sarah Morris (born 20 June 1967 in Sevenoaks, Kent, England) is an American and British artist.
Her films about cities, like Midtown, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Rio depict urban scenes, capturing the architecture, politics, industry and leisure which define a specific place.
[13][14] She has shown internationally, with solo exhibitions at Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin (2001),[15] Palais de Tokyo in Paris (2005),[16] Fondation Beyeler in Basel (2008),[17] Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt (2009),[18] Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna (2009),[19] and Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot (2012).
They alleged that in 24 works (eventually discovered to be 33 or more) in her "Origami" series of paintings Morris had without permission or credit copied their original crease patterns, coloured them, and sold them as "found" or "traditional" designs.
[71] The case was settled out of court early in 2013; under the terms of the settlement, the creators of the crease patterns are to be given credit when the works are displayed.
