Do you feel like reading some detective stories hi

Do you feel like reading some detective stories hidden in the art world? Give Anja Shortland's lost art casebook a try.

The casebook presents 10 stories collected by Art Loss Register, a private database dedicated to tracking down stolen artworks, detailing how priceless missing objects were located and retrieved, negotiated and restituted, and at times, litigated in court, resulting in the prosecution of art crime perpetrators.

If you missed the uncanny scene of a Yayoi Kusama

If you missed the uncanny scene of a Yayoi Kusama look-alike robot painting dots onto the shop windows at Louis Vuitton’s Fifth Avenue store in New York or at the Place Vendôme location in Paris, you must have spotted elsewhere the omnipresent campaign that unleashes the second collaboration between the fashion house and the artist. Dubbed “Creating Infinity” collection, LV x Kusama (2023) includes over 450 bags, perfumes, accessories, and shoes.

The over the top project drew crowds and some loud criticism from artists and members of the public, prompting questions about artistic legacies of aging artists, exploitation of IP, copyright and wrong, and consent. Hilde Lynn Helphenstein (a.k.a Jerry Gogosian), a veteran art world satirist with 126k Instagram followers, asked why “pumping out a line of handbags” would be a priority for the nonagenarian living in a hospital for mentally ill.

Jerry spoke to the Center about her concerns about the artist’s involvement in the“Creating Infinity,” collection’s erosive impact on Kusama’s legacy, and her own distressing experience in connection with LV x Kusama campaign.

Check links in our bio for the interview with Jerry Gogosian and the backstory of the interview, including the Kusama and LV past collaborations, reaction of the the artistic community, issues of bots and trolls on social media, and mental well-being.

Center for Art Law hosts accessible legal clinics (feature a keynote and one-on-one consultation) for artists to help protect and uphold artists’ rights. The upcoming Artist Legacy and Estate Planning Clinic will happen at 5:30 – 8 pm EDT on June 21, 2023. RESERVE YOUR SPOT via link in our bio!

Let's talk about Estates of Art Collectors On May

Let's talk about Estates of Art Collectors

On May 11, 2023, Christie’s commenced New York's spring sale series with a $178 million sale of art from the estate of the late Condé Nast chairman S.I. Newhouse Jr. 7 out of 16 pieces in the cache are sold above $10m. Here is a partial rundown of the sale:

A 1947 Willem de Kooning, "Orestes," that Mr. Newhouse won for $13.2 m in 2002 resold for $31m.

Bacon's 1969 "Self Portrait", purchased by S.I. Newhouse for $8.9 million in 2006, sold for $35m.

Jasper Johns' 1971 "Decoy” underperformed. It was estimated to sell for at least $14m but only sold for $10.7 million.

The marketplace is undergoing a generational taste shift among younger buyers who want a broader canon of artists. The mixed result calls for different forcasts on whether estates of art collectors will still sell. Do you agree that some art is timeless and will be forever in demand or will they become less appealing?

Is it true that an artist cannot be good at both work and parenting? Judah provides an answer in the book by compiling interviews with artists. The book provides insight on how some artists have successfully been both a parent or caregiver and an artist, and the means in which they have done so. Providing informational tools on resources available for artists to play dual roles, Judah creates this artful “how-to” on not having to choose between the two.

Greek Culture Minister Lina Mendoni announced on M

Greek Culture Minister Lina Mendoni announced on May 19 that Greece recovered 351 Neolithic-to-Byzantine objects from Robin Symes’ collection after a 16-year legal battle with the British antiquities dealer. This recovery includes a 2nd-Century bronze statue of Alexander the Great. Ms. Mendoni did not mention if there is a link between the repatriated objects and a 2016 discovery of archeological treasures stored by Symes at the Geneva freeport in Switzerland.

The latest repatriation of the British dealer’s collection is a hopeful sign that there might be some progress in the negotiation on the return of Parthenon marbles by the British Museum.
