Note the museum's equally pop view of copyright, which mistakenly assumes that you are free to sell works based on a personal photograph of copyrighted material:

In creating the Myths Series in 1981, Warhol revived the type of subject matter he used during the 1960s -- appropriated images from mass media as manifestations of American cultural values. Interestingly, for many of the images, including Uncle Sam and Santa Claus, the artist photographed models dressed-up as the Myths Series personalities. By using his personal photographs, Warhol was ablt not only to arrange the figures as he wished, but also to avoid some major copyright problems.
