Art Law - An Introductory Guide

Introduction

This new virtual classroom seminar will cover the risks involved when buying and selling high value artworks, and how to manage those risks.

If you are a private client lawyer whose clients collect art or have inherited artworks, or a family lawyer whose clients may need or want to divide or sell art assets, then this session is for you.

What You Will Learn

This live and interactive course will cover the following:

• Buying and selling unique artworks carries risks that are specific to the category, age and origin of the artwork. How do you manage those risks through due diligence?
• What are the principal contractual structures for the sale and purchase of art?
• Selling at auction v privately - what are the pitfalls?
• How much does the law protect the buyer of fine art?
• What remedies are available to buyers and sellers when the provenance, authenticity, or attribution of a work is questioned?
• Artist's copyright, moral rights, and the artist's resale right - what obligations do they impose on art collectors?
• How do resale restrictions restrain a buyer's right to resell a work?
