Law, Ethics, and the Visual Arts

Since its first publication in 1979, Law, Ethics and the Visual Arts has become a 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 and extends the book's analysis with significant changes in format and content to reflect changes in the field. The book provides students and scholars with an accessible set of materials that describe and explain the most important legal and ethical issues confronting artists, collectors, and dealers in today's complex, international art markets. Chapters cover key international treaties, federal and state statutes, judicial opinions, and excerpts from scholarly and other media publications at the intersections of art and law.

As its title implies, Essentials covers only the core legal doctrines and does so in a concise, straightforward format that focuses on practical application rather than theory. The organizational structure of each chapter facilitates student learning by providing: (1) a clear explanation of the doctrine in plain English, (2) an excerpt of relevant statutory authority where applicable, (3) an illustration of the doctrine through a carefully-selected judicial opinion, and (4) an application of the doctrine in a problem set. Each judicial opinion is followed by a series of questions, as well as narrative answers to each question. The problem sets, which are heavily emphasized, simulate the practice of law in a realistic T&amp;E setting. Key Features: <ul>
<li>Makes a challenging course uniquely accessible. Plain English explanation of legal doctrine at the beginning of each section helps ensures students have a basic foundation of substantive knowledge, allowing the professor to focus classroom discussion on applying the doctrine.</li> <li>Delivers well-edited judicial opinions in a format that allows students to achieve mastery of the materials before entering the classroom.</li> <li>Emphasizes problem-solving through detailed problem sets that allow students to apply newly learned legal doctrine to real-world situations.</li> <li>Offers concise, yet comprehensive coverage. All core Trusts &amp; Estates topics are covered in fewer than 650 pages.</li> </ul>

Law, Ethics, And the Visual Arts

Since its first edition in 1979, Law, Ethics and the Visual Arts established itself as the leading art law text among law professors, students, and practitioners. This new and newly illustrated, fifth edition, revised in collaboration with Stephen K. Urice, incorporates recent changes in treaty, statutory, and case law. It includes discussion of recent developments from the resurgence of iconoclasm to military conflicts' depredations on cultural property. As in earlier editions, the authors present legal issues in their historical contexts. 
 The broad range of topics addressed in the 5th edition, makes the text especially adaptable for use in multiple classroom settings. These topics include: <ul>
<li> U.S. museums' return of works of art and antiquities to claimants such as Holocaust survivors and foreign nations </li> <li> Artist's rights such as copyright and moral rights </li> <li> International movement of art and antiquities </li> <li> Fakes and forgeries in the art market </li> <li> The inner workings of art auctions </li> <li> Plundering and destruction of works of art in times of war and military conflict </li> <li> Censorship of obscene or politically challenging works of art </li> <li> And many more </li> </ul>
 In this edition, documents previously presented in a separate documentary appendix have been integrated into the text to provide immediate access to important treaties and other materials. Whether you need to understand something as provocative as who owns the past, or something as mundane as whether a museum can sell a work of art to fix the roof, Law, Ethics and the Visual Arts provides the information you need. It combines unassailable scholarship with a deeply humanistic approach, recognizing that law and art each "impose a measure of order on the disorder of experience without stifling the underlying diversity, spontaneity, and disarray" (Paul Freund).
