At the Crossroads of
Visual Arts and the Law

The Center for Art Law’s Anti-Money Laundering Comparative Law Study explores regulations in the art market, highlighting compliance requirements, monitoring duties, and emerging challenges.

This project features an interactive database documenting cases of art looted by the Nazis between 1933-1945. Designed as an educational and research tool, it highlights efforts to identify and return stolen artworks while raising public awareness and supporting restitution initiatives.

Published once a month, the Center for Art Law’s monthly newsletter features upcoming events, recent publications, job openings and headlines in all that is art law.

Our comprehensive database covers a broad range of litigation topics from copyright infringement to looted art litigation, trademark disputes, the Visual Artists Rights Act, and more. While the majority of cases originate from U.S. courts, the database also features a significant number of cases from international sources.

Hosted by Paris Sistilli and Andrea Konigs, this podcast will explore a range of fascinating art law cases and dive deep into the big questions they raise. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or someone unfamiliar with the world of art law, ART IN BRIEFF offers an engaging and accessible way to understand this dynamic and evolving field.

In our quest to identify and collect all art law resources in the world, we are maintaining a hybrid art law repository of books, journals, blogs, podcasts and other relevant publications.
