The war in Ukraine is an explicit rejection of Ukr

The war in Ukraine is an explicit rejection of Ukrainian culture. For years, Putin has denied all evidence showing that the language, history, and heritage of Ukraine is distinctly separate. Rather, he has supported propaganda that reframes Ukrainian culture as an extension of Russian culture. The damage that has been done to Ukrainian cultural heritage sites is therefore not just a consequence of the war but a targeted attack on the Ukrainian identity.

Hundreds of cultural heritage sites have been destroyed or damaged since February 2022. The scale is unfathomable but a recent New York Times article helps put it into perspective. "A Culture in the Cross Hairs" was recently published featuring research, pictures, videos, and analysis of the current situation. Recognizing the power of visualization, the Center for Art Law believes this to be a valuable resource for highlighting the heartbreaking extent of damage to museums, churches, monuments, libraries, and more. We urge you all to read it. Link is in our bio.

Our bio also has other sources not behind a paywall.

Meet Dr. Gail Levin, our guest speaker for the upcoming event "Setting the Record Straight: A Conversation with an Art Historian"!

Dr. Gail Levin is Distinguished Professor of art history, fine & performing arts, American studies, and women’s studies at Baruch College and the Graduate Center, of the City University of New York. The acknowledged authority on American realist painter Edward Hopper, she is author of books and articles on this artist, including the catalogue raisonné and Edward Hopper: An Intimate Biography.

Articles range from theory of artists’ biographies to explorations of the intersection of American and Asian cultural studies. She has also written on the art of women artists in diverse historical contexts. Her frequent focus on women artists and Jewish artists, led to biographies of Judy Chicago and Lee Krasner and a major study of Theresa Bernstein.

Art and politics are intimately interwoven. In the article "Golden Hour: The Opioid Crisis and the Arts," Blake Konkol (Summer 2022 Legal Intern) dives into one notable example of this. Bridging art and protest, Konkel describes the opioid controversy behind the Sackler family and how Nan Goldin, a photographer, brought attention to the issue of the Sackler family's museum patronage.

To read about Goldin's work and how her organization Prescription Addiction Intervention Now (P.A.I.N.) is removing the Sackler name from the museum world, click the link in our bio!

What is a representation agreement? What language

What is a representation agreement? What language should an artist or dealer include to protect their interests? Who pays for storage? Is there insurance? What about prompt payment? Any negotiation between artists and galleries requires forethought and legal acumen to protect the interests of either party.

Join the Center for Art Law for this upcoming Art Law Lunch Talk moderated by Jessica Wessel Esq., Director of Business Development, Northeast at Gurr Johns, in conversation with Megan Noh Esq., co-chairs Pryor Cashman's Art Law Group, Sara Maria Salamone, gallerist and director of Mrs., a contemporary art gallery, and Onyedika Chuke, artist and archivist.

This conversation will focus on the terms and language artists and galleries should look for when negotiating representation agreements with the other side.
Whether you need to learn or review, we will focus on the most essential terms for artists and dealers when negotiating a representation agreement.

What role does an art historian play in connection

What role does an art historian play in connection with an artist's legacy? Scholars, curators, biographers, teachers - art historians like Gail Levin -- dedicate their lives to unearth and preserve the biographical and artistic record disappearing in the haze of time. Whether an artist is a careful record keeper or not, what are the steps artists could have taken to have had their work seen and receive the appreciation that they deserve in their lifetime? Where would they be without art historians retracing and unearthing their steps and marks?

Join us in conversation with Gail Levin, Distinguished Professor at the City University of New York, who wears the hats of a biographer, an educator, a curator, a scholar and an advisor to artists and those are just to name a few! Dr. Levin will discuss the various steps and processes that art historians take to help artists not become forgotten, preserve their work, have their work known to the public and protect their legacy. Dr. Levin is the author of the Edward Hopper catalogue raisonne and the biographer of Lee Krasner, (Krasner's catalogue was created by yet another scholar). Having worked with Judy Chicago and many many others, Dr. Levin will discuss how these and other artists tend to keep their records, plan for their legacy, and how her extensive work, including establishing the Catalogue Raisonné Scholars Association, publishing countless articles and meticulous work on the Hopper’s catalogue raisonnes contributed and impacted artists' legacy, and her own.

The workshop is designed for art historians and artists in mind, to illuminate the decision-making processes for art historians in choosing artists to study and guiding others on where to begin and what to do to assist artists looking to showcase and preserve their work in perpetuity.

If you're anything like the team at the Center for Art Law, you've been spending your holiday break playing around on sites like DALL·E 2. But as fun as it may be to see how AI generates images for our prompts, copyright concerns regarding these AI generated works loom in the background.

In the article "Art-istic or Artificial? Ownership and Copyright Concerns in AI-Generated Artwork" by Atreya Mathur, she raises a few of these critical questions: "who owns it? who is the maker? the ‘AI’ or a copyright holder that the artwork is based on? Who has a perfected (or any) claim of co-authorship? Who can commercialize these images? Can someone be sued for infringement if they use the image without permission?"

What do you think AI-generated art means for the future of art law?
