About Lárus List
- Lárus H.
- List (born 27 February 1956, in Reykjavík), is an artist resident in Háteigur, Akureyri in the north-east of Iceland.
- List worked in the Akureyri Art Museum for six years under the guidance and tuition of then director Haraldur Ingi Haraldsson.
- List has been described by Morgunblaðið art critic Bragi Ásgeirsson as "a colourful child of nature who goes his own way carried off on a spark of natural talent". In 2007 the U.S.
- supermarket chain Wal-mart initiated legal proceedings against List to retain the domain wa1mart.com, claiming that the artist is typosquatting on a domain similar to its own walmart.com.
- The only difference between the two domains is a one digit '1' replacing the letter 'L'. List, who is represented by British Lawyer Graham Ross, claims that the domain was registered in relation to a painting entitled Wa1m-ART which was displayed in Kling og Bang Gallery in Reykjavík.
- The painting is based on Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa.
- List said the idea behind his Mona Lisa-based artwork was to criticize American greed and cultural hegemony and that Wal-Mart’s lawsuit has proven his point.
