I wouldn't call it that. Goldsmith took a photograph of Prince which Warhol used as a reference to generate an illustration. Vanity Fair then chose to buy a license Warhol's print instead of Goldsmith's photograph.

So, despite the artwork being visual transformative (silkscreen vs photograph) the actual use was not transformed.
