Chinese artist Ai Weiwei is taking German automaker Volkswagen to court after he said his work appeared in an advert for the company without permission.
Ai Weiwei posted a selfie on Instagram Tuesday flipping the bird over a Volkswagen logo."On the way to Copenhagen to attend the court hearing for our case against Volkswagen," read the caption.
The hearing took place on Wednesday morning at Glostrup District Court in Copenhagen. A spokesman for Volkswagen Denmark told CNN that the company would not comment on ongoing legal proceedings. However, the spokesman said the company had admitted its mistake and had tried to reach a resolution with the artist for the past year.
The artwork was made from over 3,500 lifejackets discarded by migrants on the Greek island of Lesbos."Soleil Levant" consists of 3,500 lifejackets used by refugees crossing to Lesbos, Greece, and was created to mark World Refugee Day. In December 2018, British artist Anish Kapoor reached an out-of-court settlement with the National Rifle Association after the gun rights group used an image of Kapoor's"Cloud Gate" sculpture in a promotional video.
