Law Library Book of the Month
Art, Artifact, Architecture & Museum Law
By California lawyer Alexandra Darraby
Art, Artifact, Architecture & Museum Law, provides a fascinating examination of the complexity of issues and laws in the world of visual art and cultural property under American law and international treaties and conventions.
Art never fails to intrigue, as proved by the recent news of a major art theft in Verona, ongoing revelations of Holocaust art resurfacing, reports of art auction prices, and the inauguration of new museums and new collections. This two-volume set covers fundamentals in the business of art, including definitions for all market players and the particular trade practices and requirements for the acquisition, ownership and sale of art and cultural objects, including an analysis of social, policy, economic, and cultural issues.
Supported by a separate reference volume of state, federal, and international laws, an artist biographical resource section, and an extensive legal bibliography, this set addresses topics such as valuation and appraisal, taxation, artist rights, First Amendment challenges and protections, and intellectual property issues, along with bankruptcy, evidence, fraud, forgery, import and export, and historic preservation. The California Resale Royalty Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 986) is credited as the only state mandate to provide American visual artists with a share of the resale price of work in the secondary art sales market.
The author’s discussion of the legal issues of duty, liability, and remedy is interwoven with a keen appreciation of art and cultural property: take a look at the preface for a wonderful narrative about the Berlin Wall as a once-cultural divide, opening to a new and vibrant art world, a “cultural transformation.”
Art, Artifact, Architecture & Museum Law is also available in the Library on WestlawNext.
