This important handbook offers art professionals and collectors an accessible legal analysis of essential principles in art law, as well as a practical guide to understanding one's legal rights when creating, buying, selling and collecting art in a global market. Although the book is international in scope, there is a particular focus on the US as one of the major art centres of the world and the site of international court cases. The book distinguishes between legal and ethical as well as legal and art-historical considerations with reference to the art market. It addresses key questions such as: the role of due diligence in buying and selling art; the issues which can arise without the formalising of a relationship or transaction with a written contract; how much of another artist's work can be appropriated without infringing on that artist's copyright; the balance between freedom of expression and an individual's rights of privacy and publicity and the liabilities of expert opinions on authenticity and valuation of works of art.

The Routledge Handbook of the Sociology of Arts and Culture offers a comprehensive overview of sociology of art and culture, focusing especially � though not exclusively � on the visual arts, literature, music, and digital culture. Extending, and critiquing, Bourdieu�s influential analysis of cultural capital, the distinguished international contributors explore the extent to which cultural omnivorousness has eclipsed highbrow culture, the role of age, gender and class on cultural practices, the character of aesthetic preferences, the contemporary significance of screen culture, and the restructuring of popular culture. The Handbook critiques modes of sociological determinism in which cultural engagement is seen as the simple product of the educated middle classes. The contributions explore the critique of Eurocentrism and the global and cosmopolitan dimensions of cultural life. The book focuses particularly on bringing cutting edge �relational� research methodologies, both qualitative and quantitative, to bear on these debates. This handbook not only describes the field, but also proposes an agenda for its development which will command major international interest.
