The art gallery who, as previously reported, found themselves on the receiving end of legal action from Jack White over a poster have redesigned the image that caused all the trouble. The east London gallery, Aquarium, currently running an exhibition by White's recent verbal adversary Billy Childish, were displaying a print bearing images of Childish and White depicted as taking part in a fictitious boxing match, labelled 'Bitter 'Billy' Childish' and 'Jack 'Whingy' White'.
White, of course, responded with a lawsuit, and the gallery have now removed the original image of White used on the poster, and are instead using a cartoon of him to get round the copyright issue.
A statement from the gallery says: "If anyone has a claim (however weak) of copyright theft it's whoever designed the Ali v Norton poster that we've ripped off. You'll notice that the poster pictured here has changed slightly from the first one. This is not an admission that they're right, it's just to make it more difficult for them to pull the same stunt again."
And continues: "Just in case Jack is being so unsporting about this fine commemorative artwork auction because he thinks he should be getting a share of the mountains of cash we're going to make out of it, we're going to give him a share. Fifty per cent in fact... The gallery will give up its share and Billy and Jack will get to split the wadge of dosh between them. We'll convert Jack's booty into gold, stick it in a pot, and he can collect it from us when he's next in London."
