September of 2025 stuck a potential death blow to September of 2025 stuck a potential death blow to the NFT market: Christie's announced the closing of their digital art department. It had only lasted 3 years. NFTs experienced a incredibly fast tracked rise and fall in popularity, leaving behind questions as to their continuing value and ownership rights.

On March 2nd, SCOTUS ended the saga of "The Recent On March 2nd, SCOTUS ended the saga of "The Recent Enteance to Paradise ", having denied writ of certiorari in Thaler v. Perlmutter. The question posed to the Court was if a work with a nonhuman author could receive copyright protections. The Court of Appeals for D.C. (2025) and the District Court (2023) have already answered 'no' to this issue, citing prior case law human requirements, statute interpretation of the word human artist, and other arguments.

A recent report by the World Jewish Restitution Or A recent report by the World Jewish Restitution Organization (WRJO) states that most American museums provide inadequate provenance information for potentially Nazi-looted objects held in their collections. This is an ongoing problem, as emphasized by the closure of the Nazi-Era Provenance Internet Portal last year. Established in 2003, the portal was intended to act as a public registry of potentially looted art held in museum collections across the United States. However, over its 21-year lifespan, the portal's practitioners struggled to secure ongoing funding and it ultimately became outdated. The WJRO report highlights this failure, noting that museums themselves have done little to make provenance information easily accessible. This lack of transparency is a serious blow to the efforts of Holocaust survivors and their descendants to secure the repatriation of seized artworks. WJRO President Gideon Taylor urged American museums to make more tangible efforts to cooperate with Holocaust survivors and their families in their pursuit of justice. 🔗 Click the link in our bio to read more. #centerforartlaw #artlaw #museumissues #nazilootedart #wwii #artlawyer #legalresearch
