Since its first publication in 1979, Law, Ethics, and the Visual Arts has been the foundational text in the field of art law. This thoroughly reorganized and updated sixth edition takes a fresh look at primary materials and commentary from previous editions, extending the book's analysis with significant changes in format and content to reflect changes in the field. The book has multiple uses and audiences: a text for courses in law schools and graduate programs, a reference work for lawyers and museum professionals, and a lively read - filled with engaging legal stories and colorful anecdotes featuring the broad cast of characters in the art world. Complementing their own observations, the authors include excerpts from judicial opinions, scholarly and popular articles, international treaties, and statutory law. Law, Ethics, and the Visual Arts offers a cornucopia of examples, questions, issues, and lessons for students, artists, dealers, collectors, attorneys, and any reader curious about today's complex world of the visual arts.
