NEW YORK (AP/ 1010 WINS) -- The creator of a "Charging Bull'' sculpture near Wall Street has sued Random House for putting a picture of his statue on the cover of a book about the fall of Lehman Brothers.
The lawsuit by artist Arturo Di Modica Wednesday in federal court in Manhattan sought unspecified damages and to have the picture removed from the book, "A Colossal Failure of Common Sense.''
Random House spokesman David Drake said the publisher does not comment on pending litigation.
The lawsuit said Random House never sought permission to use a picture of the lower Manhattan statue that is popular with tourists.
The lawsuit included a copy of the copyright for the sculpture, which was created in 1989 and was registered with the copyright office in 1998.
