Question juridique clé
Whether the portraits unlawfully violated the plaintiffs' personality rights and right to their own image.
Solution extraite
Yes. The plaintiffs were identifiable, and the portraits together with the exhibition context infringed their personality rights without justification.
Motifs extraits
The court held that identification can result from accompanying circumstances, including captions and flyer text. Artistic freedom under Art. 21 BV is not a blanket justification; the decisive point was that the exhibition, viewed in context, served as a personal reckoning and portrayed the plaintiffs in a derogatory way.
