The Red Couch - A Gallery of Mankind since 1979 vs. ELPIO Production since 2017

The Red Couch Tour - Canada 150: A Rip-Off?
Does Canadian Government funds copyright infringement?
Düsseldorf, Germany and Montreal, Canada, April 25, 2017
Renowned Photographer and Video Artist Horst Wackerbarth Denounces Canada 150 Red Couch Tour as an Infringement of his Rights.
Horst Wackerbarth, the renowned German photographer and video artist, has lodged a formal complaint against the Canada 150 Red Couch Tour, which is currently touring Canada in association with celebrations surrounding the 150th anniversary of Confederation.
Wackerbarth states that he is “profoundly offended” by Red Couch Tour which he sees as a blatant imitation of his life’s work The Red Couch - A Gallery of Mankind.
Wackerbarth has lodged a formal complaint with the organizers of the Canada 150 Red Couch Tour, Elpio Production of Ottawa Ontario, as well as with Heritage Canada which has provided substantial funding to Elpio for the Red Couch Tour. He seeks only that he be credited for his lifework and paid reasonable com- pensation for the use of his work. His overtures have been rebuffed, negotiations for a settlement failed.
