"Law, Ethics and the Visual Arts describes and critically discusses what happens when the art world encounters the law and vice versa. Thorough a combination of primary source materials, excerpts from professional and art journals and extensive textual notes, this work presents a thorough analysis of, inter alia: the fate of works of art in wartime; the international trade in stolen and illegally exported cultural property; artistic freedom, censorship and state support for art and artists; copyright, droit moral and droit de suite; the artist's professional life and death; collectors and the art market; income and estate taxation; charitable donations of works of art, and art museums and their collections. Art world professionals, including practising and academic lawyers, the art trade, art administrators, museum trustees and staff, art historians, archaeologists and art collectors will find this book of value."--BOOK JACKET.
