In this thoroughly revised second edition, Anne Laure Bandle explores the process of attribution of artworks and antiques at auction and the commercial directive of auction houses when authenticating art and protecting themselves against misattributions. Bandle provides an extensive study of the phenomenon of ÔsleepersÕ through an in-depth analysis of the contractual relationships, liabilities and remedies that arise in the context of auction sales.
This book analyses the legal aspects of international claims by indigenous peoples for the repatriation of their cultural property, and explores what legal norms and normative orders would be appropriate for resolving these claims. To establish context, the book first provides insights into the exceptional legislative responses to the cultural property claims of Native American tribes in the United States and looks at the possible relevance of this national law on the international level. It then shifts to the multinational setting by using the method of legal pluralism and takes into consideration international human rights law, international cultural heritage law, the applicable national laws in the United Kingdom, France and Switzerland, transnational law such as museum codes, and decision-making in extra-legal procedures. In the process, the book reveals the limits of the law in dealing with the growing imperative of human rights in the field, and concludes with three basic insights that are of key relevance for improving the law and decision-making with regard to indigenous peoples’ cultural property.
The widespread understanding of auction structure considers auction as consisting of three contracts: contract between the seller and the auctioneer, contract between the auctioneer and the buyer and the sale contract between the seller and the buyer. The book challenges this concept, arguing that the traditional tripartite concept of auction is too narrow and does not correspond to the actual structure of auction relations. Demonstrating that an auction structure consists of a plethora of legal relationships, including noncontractual relations, this book explores the legal concept of auction sale and the structure of accompanying relations. The book provides a historical overview of auction...
This collection of essays considers the concept of connoisseurship afresh by investigating its practice in familiar places, such as Western art history, while also incorporating a global perspective with Chinese numismatics and walnut collecting, wine and coffee expertise, the market for geological specimens, and the resonances between Morellian connoisseurship and modern forensics. These essays resonate with one another in surprising ways and create new dialogues about connoisseurship's meaning and application, demonstrating that its practice can be both intuitive and scientific.
Each issue includes a classified section on the organization of the Dept.
Working with a data set accounting for 13,000 auction sales results, Anne-Sophie V. Radermecker explores what contemporary buyers value when purchasing paintings of unknown or uncertain authorship, and which variables influence price formation mechanisms in this market segment. The principle finding of this book is not only that historical names matter in the art market, but so do all other alternative identification strategies that art market players use to label anonymous paintings. Indirect names, provisional names, and spatiotemporal designations function as substitutes for real names that simulate identities, create ex-post stories around the artworks offered for sale, and, consequently, reduce information asymmetry about an artist’s identity, with, at time, quite unexpected effects on price.

Desde o surgimento da internet comercial e da promulgação da Lei de Direitos Autorais brasileira, a relação dos indivíduos com as criações artísticas e intelectuais assumiu contornos inéditos. Acima de tudo, ela se virtualizou, o que significou uma participação crescente do direito autoral em sociedades conectadas. Hoje os criadores estão em muitos mais contextos do que anteriormente e, acima de tudo, nos espaços digitais. No entanto, a Lei que deveria proteger o autor e promover a criação parece cada vez mais incapaz de fazer cumprir seus fundamentos. O Estado Brasileiro segue com o desafio de fazer ouvir as vozes empenhadas em questionar e possibilitar uma regulação adaptada às novas tecnologias.
