Man to go to court for Obama poster

Controversial street artist Shepard Fairey, who gained fame with his red, white and blue posters of Barack Obama, has been arrested.

The 38-year-old artist, known for his countercultural style, was arrested on two warrants on his way to the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston on Friday.

The artist is embroiled in a copyright dispute with the Associated Press over his Obama 'Hope' poster. AP claims the poster image was based on one of its photos taken in April 2006 by Manny Garcia at the National Press Club in Washington.

Fairey was also charged with defacing property in two Boston area locations with graffiti.



Fairey -- who is also a graphic designer and political activist -- achieved fame with his red, white and blue posters of Obama, emblazoned with the words "Hope", "Progress", and "Change".

Last month, the National Portrait Gallery added his Obama portrait to its collection
