Interview with a fascinating and prolific Leonard Duboff, an art law attorney and educator. He collected articles and materials about art law matters in the early 1970s. He was involved in passing the VARA, federal law protecting visual artists’ rights. He authored “The Deskbook of Art Law” (1977) and “Art Law in a Nutshell,” as well as co-authored many important textbooks, encyclopedias, tutorials including “Art Law: Cases and Materials.” Active in the field for over 40 years, DuBoff organized his first conference about art law in 1974.
From The Duboff Law Group website: “Leonard D. DuBoff has been a pioneer in the field of Art Law. He has published a series of books that have been valued by both scholars and novices alike. Leonard has written a series of books that transform the verbose language of the law into words an everyday person can understand,”In Plain English Books” as well as published a variety of encyclopedias and informations publications designed to help both artist and business owners alike. He has earned numerous accalades over his career in both the field of writing as well as in the field of law.”
