Description
Given frequently encountered (economic) battles in the area of artist estates, our session will explore the most relevant legal issues, specifically in corporate tax and copyright law, and the roles of the artist, their potential heirs, their art dealers and art historians, and museums at three different points in time. We shall discuss how to address these issues: (i) while the artist is still alive (but not really interested in organising their estate), (ii) immediately after their death, and (iii) the long-term issues, such as the financing of an artist’s estate’s non-commercial tasks (the edition of the catalogue raisonné or the authentication of works) and how these may impact the estate.
