Ansel Adams' trust says AI-colorized version of his work was exhibited without permission
The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust has condemned the unauthorized exhibition and sale of an AI-generated colorized version of his iconic photograph, 'Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico.' The trust stated that the Danziger Gallery displayed the altered image at AIPAD's The Photography Show without their consent or knowledge, exploiting Adams' name and work for commercial gain. While the trust acknowledged Adams' potential excitement for AI in photography, their primary concern is the nonconsensual use of his art and name, deeming the gallery's actions a significant ethical failure.
