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over its 21-year lifespan, the portal's practitioners struggled to secure ongoing funding and it ultimately became outdated.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.

Join us for an informative presentation and pro bo

Join us for an informative presentation and pro bono consultations to better understand the current art and copyright law landscape. Copyright law is a body of federal law that grants authors exclusive rights over their original works — from paintings and photographs to sculptures, as well as other fixed and tangible creative forms. Once protection attaches, copyright owners have exclusive economic rights that allow them to control how their work is reproduced, modified and distributed, among other uses.

Albeit theoretically simple, in practice copyright law is complex and nuanced: what works acquire such protection? How can creatives better protect their assets or, if they wish, exploit them for their monetary benefit?

In October, the Hispanic Society Museum and Librar

In October, the Hispanic Society Museum and Library deaccessioned forty five paintings from its collection through an auction at Christie's. The sale included primarily Old-Master paintings of religious and aristocratic subjects. Notable works in the sale included a painting from the workshop of El Greco, a copy of a work by Titian, as well as a portrait of Isabella of Portugal, and Clemente Del Camino y Parladé’s “El Columpio (The Swing).

The purpose of the sale was to raise funds to further diversify the museum's collection. In a statement, the institution stated that the works selected for sale are not in line with their core mission as they seek to expand and diversify their collection.

When you see ‘February’ what comes to mind? Birthd

When you see ‘February’ what comes to mind? Birthdays of friends? Olympic games? Anniversary of war? Democracy dying in darkness? Days getting longer? We could have chosen a better image for the February cover but somehow the 1913 work of Umberto Boccioni (an artist who died during World War 1) “Dynamism of a Soccer Player” seemed to hit the right note. Let’s keep going, individuals and team players.

Center for Art Law is pressing on with events and research. We have over 200 applications to review for the Summer Internship Program, meetings, obligations. Reach out if you have questions or suggestions. We cannot wait to introduce to you our Spring Interns and we encourage you to share and keep channels of communication open.
