ART
We understand the unique relationships between art, artists, agents, galleries and numerous other individuals and businesses that interact within the art world.
We have negotiated major public and private commissions, domestic and international licenses, and consignment, agency, and sales agreements. We help clients establish and operate business entities for the arts, ranging from grass roots nonprofits and galleries to multi-million dollar art publishing houses. We help clients navigate complicated project planning issues, including art insurance, shipping, contracts, resale royalties, disclosure obligations related to limited editions (including certificates of authenticity), and relationships between artists, galleries and museums.
We are trailblazers in the law of murals. Our expertise in preserving artwork and enforcing visual artists' rights is internationally recognized. In the unhappy event that a work of art is damaged, we can help with insurance claims, arrangements with conservators, and litigation.
We use our in-depth knowledge of licensing, copyright, trademark, publicity rights, and unfair business practices to protect against unauthorized uses and infringements of clients' artwork.
