The Art Law Report Turns Three: the Training Wheels are Off

Posted in Copyright, Cy Pres, Deaccession, Detroit Bankruptcy, Fair Use, Gurlitt Collection, Restitution

As I have before, I wanted to mark the third anniversary of this blog since we posted three articles on September 15, 2011.  In the last year, you (the reader) have helped the Report grow beyond our most optimistic hopes.  We have done our best to cover significant events like the Gurlitt saga and restitution issues, the Detroit bankruptcy and the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Corcoran Gallery merger, auction houses and privacy in New York, the Beastie Boys GoldieBlox and copyright/fair use, the “flea market Renoir” case, and so much more.  Our monthly traffic in year three has almost surpassed the readers in all of year one, and the sky is the limit.  As always, the goal remains to present a fresh perspecive on these legal issues affecting the visual arts and its institutions, of use and interest both to the lawyer and non-lawyer alike. 

Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for more.
