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.
It also has relevance to insurance claims disputes, and when using the art pieces for collateral when obtaining a loan. 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. Copyright HG.org.

Museum archives collection. 138 of Andy Warhol's 610 Time Capsules at The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh The archives are part of the artist's life work and the greatest single collection of ephemera documenting the diverse worlds in which Warhol was active.
The collection consists of over 8,000 cubic feet of material – perhaps half a million objects – and functions as an integral part of The Warhol Museum, along with his paintings, films, video work, sculpture and graphic art. The keystone of the archives collection is Warhol's Time Capsules. This serial work, spanning a thirty-year period from the early 1960s to his death in 1987, consists of 612 containers (mainly standard-sized cardboard boxes), which Warhol, beginning in 1974, filled, sealed and sent to storage. Warhol used these boxes to manage the bewildering quantity of material that routinely passed through his life.

Selling That Warhol In the Museum Attic: Brandeis' Deaccessioning Raises Legal Issues : Art Law Gallery. Museum collections have long tantalized would-be buyers and dealers of fine art.
With most museums displaying a third or less of their collections at any given time – before it moved into its new building in 2004, the Museum of Modern Art was able to display only 10 percent of its magnificent collection – there’s a lot of beautiful and valuable art that’s not often seen by private collectors or the general public. But deaccessioning, as the practice of selling off art by a museum is known, has long been controversial. The American Association of Museums prohibits the proceeds of such sales from being used for anything other than further acquisitions or direct care of collections, and the International Council of Museums’ standard is similar. Most prominent American museums are members of one or both groups, which means that it’s not ethical for member museums to sell off a Warhol or Mondrian to cover salaries or other operating expenses, no matter how acute the need.
