Art and Culture Law - Guide to Art and Cultural Property Law. Art law is a unique specialty area of the law. After all, art occupies many roles in our culture and serves many functions for businesses, governments, museums, families, and artists. Art can be a form of expression, it can be a decoration, it can be a currency, and it can serve as the basis for many careers. Common issues for art law include how works of art should be valued, how to protect intellectual property rights in art, free speech issues, authenticating and dealing with stolen artworks, and a variety of business issues related to the art industry. Art valuation is particularly important for determining tax consequences of dealing in art and for testamentary purposes. Intellectual property interests in art include protecting copyrights to various works and determining whether a piece was created independently or as a work for hire. Free speech issues in art often relate to whether something is art or obscenity.
