LEGAL FILE

Dancing Solo: Keith Haring’s estate sued Playboy magazine this week, claiming the magazine cut up the late pop artist’s drawing of six dancing figures to sell them as solo acts when he intended them to be a troupe. The drawing, called “Dancers,” initially appeared in Playboy’s December, 1986, issue as a perforated pull-out. According to the suit filed in U.S. District Court in New York, the magazine is selling the figures as individual prints and on wristwatches and other merchandise. Playboy claims it owns the copyright to the work. Haring died of AIDS in February, 1990.
