A Concise Guide for Artists, Curators, and Museum Professionals

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Between the countless works of art in the world and numerous laws on their care, the task of deciphering correct procedure can seem daunting. In Art Law: A Concise Guide for Artists, Curators, and Museum Professionals, Michael E. Jones breaks down the legal language into a concise tool for all those involved in the art world. While most art law books are written for law students or museum directors, trustees, and curators, Jones' book appeals to a far larger audience, particularly undergraduate and graduate students studying art, graphic design, photography, museum studies, art education and art business. It is also a useful research guide for museum professionals, gallery directors, foundation heads, working professional visual fine artists and board/trustee members. Art Law distinguishes itself by providing a broad scope of art law in relation to the world of artists and those organizations that support, preserve, govern, display, and even sell art. Covering topics such as acquisition, grants, and buying and selling, this book takes a look at the ethical and legal issues and rights that confront the art community and museums. Through case studies complete with images, readers can see these topics in action. Art Law is a must-have guide for art educators, museum studies students, art law and business programs, and artists looking for clear and readable descriptions and answers to the relevant legal issues facing the art world community. This book is current through the Warhol Supreme Court decision of May 2023.

Autorenporträt

Michael E. Jones, Professor Emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, has spent decades at the intersection of ethics, technology, law and the humanities, helping students and professionals alike explore a world increasingly shaped by rapid digital transformation. For more than forty years, he has taught university courses that probe the ethical boundaries of emerging technologies, governance rules, and intellectual property and how these forces are reshaping our understanding of creativity, law, sports, and the arts.
He has authored nine foundational books about sports law, entertainment law, and art law and has advised Olympic athletes, museums, and creative professionals at every level from PBS TV stars to street artists. But just as critically, he has pushed audiences to ask hard questions about fairness, authorship, and the human consequences of technological progress.
His latest book, soon to be published by Bloomsbury later this year, What Art Is Now: Creativity in the Age of AI, tackles one of the most urgent: What happens to human creativity when machines can mimic or even replace it?
Michael earned his undergraduate degree in Economics from Denison University, followed by an MBA from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. He went on to receive his law degree from the University of Miami and pursued further graduate degree studies in law and art at Harvard University. He studied fine art at the Art Students League and the New Hampshire Institute of Art, co-edited with his wife, Christine, a book on legendary photo-journalist Rowland Scherman, co-produced with Christine a film documentary on esteemed painter Nancy Ellen Craig, and has served on boards from Provincetown to academia to the Olympics.
