Law and the Visual Arts

The legal settings for the artist and the visual arts organization in the state of New York and the United States is explored. Major legal issues in the definition of art-as-property and the rights of the artist are evaluated. Contemporary controversies are placed in the larger context of attempts by the judicial system to redefine the balance between the rights of the individual artist and the public responsibilities of the visual arts institution in an increasingly urbanized and technological society.
