"It's a rarefied field but, in New York and London, it matters. As a body of law, art law draws on an array of disciplines-copyright, contract, tort, tax, commercial, constitutional, and international law-to facilitate and regulate the creation, sale, collection, and display of fine and visual art. It also deals with valuation and appraisal. As art crosses borders, art lawyers disentangle customs regulations. Millions of dollars come into play."
"She would be a different kind of artist's rep. "I won't exactly sell images," she said, "but access to images." She set up a site to license the use of artwork for an appropriate fee. As proprietor of the site, which she called ArtAccess, she would take a portion of the fee. For Lisa, the site represented a community where ordinary people and artists literally mingled online."
Lisa left a top art law practice after growing tired of billable hours and sought a more direct connection with art through studio classes. Art law integrates copyright, contract, tort, tax, commercial, constitutional, and international law to govern creation, sale, collection, display, valuation, appraisal, and cross-border customs for high-value artwork. Lisa shifted from legal practice toward visual engagement and developed a new role representing artists by licensing access to images via a website called ArtAccess. The site licenses artwork for fees, takes a portion for its proprietor, and fosters an online community linking ordinary people and artists to support creators financially.
