Book Description
The contributions to this volume were written by historians, legal historians and art historians, each using his or her own methods and sources, but all concentrating on topics from the broad subject of historical legal iconography. How have the concepts of law and justice been represented in (public) art from the Late Middle Ages onwards? Justices and rulers had their courtrooms, but also churches, decorated with inspiring images. At first, the religious influence was enormous, but starting with the Early Modern Era, new symbols and allegories began appearing. Throughout history, art has been used to legitimise the act of judging, but artists have also satirised the law and the lawyers; architects and artisans have engaged in juridical and judicial projects and, in some criminal cases, convicts have even been sentenced to produce works of art. The book illustrates and contextualises the various interactions between law and justice on the one hand, and their artistic representations in paintings, statues, drawings, tapestries, prints and books on the other.

Book Description
Law as Art presents a radical new legal theory, the Law as Art Hypothesis, which conceives law, not as a system of rules, but as a distinctive kind of art work. Law is differentiated as art by the Law as Compound Artistic Type Hypothesis, which uses the heuristic metaphor of the Operatic Music Drama, the most elementally complex compound art form, to develop an idea of legal art as a distinctive empowered text, supported by the arts of drama, painting, sculpture, dress-design, architecture, rhetoric and communication to form an elementally developed yet integrated unitary art work. Part I develops a new realist epistemology to support a contemporary action-type ontology of art, differentiated as art by virtue of its artistic value. Part II opens with a critical review of the arts in legal theory, before detailing the Law as Art and Law as Compound Artistic Type Hypothesis and locating them within contemporary scholarship. Legal philosophical implications are considered and there is an acronym key and glossary, bibliography and index.

Book Description
This book provides a bird's eye view of contemporary issues in art claims and litigation. It outlines the legal machinery driving the cross-border movement of cultural objects and explores the questions that come to light when art travels globally. Along the way, the book explains the role of national legislation in the protection of cultural objects, and offers guidance on the drafting of art-related agreements. While the focus of this survey is on tangible art and other forms of cultural wealth, the book refers to intellectual property rights and their relationship with physical things. It enables art owners and administrators, along with the communities and governments to which they answer, to develop an understanding of the vast scope and variety of art disputes. Readers will also learn the need for prudence and foresight in any dealings in art. Art, Adventure and Advocacy clearly demonstrates, by use of examples, why it is preferable to take legal advice before the event than to suffer litigation and loss afterwards. [Subject: International Law, Art Law, Cultural Heritage Law, Antiquities Law, Intellectual Property Law]

Book Description
Herbert Lazerow is a Professor of Law at the University of San Diego School of Law. This book tracks all published Art Law casebooks. It begins by asking what art is, and why there should be special rules for it. There follows a section on the rights and responsibilities of artists and collectors in areas such as freedom of expression, defamation, the right of publicity, the rights of privacy, copyright, trademark, moral rights, resale royalties, and the tax consequences of common art-related transactions. The book then treats commercial dealings in art, such as problems of authentication or ownership of the work, and commercial relationships between artists, collectors, dealers, auction houses and financers of the art world. It deals with the law governing the organization and operation of museums, including employment law. The international treatment of art is discussed in terms of special rules for art in times of hostilities and occupation, as well as peacetime law governing the movement of art or artifacts across national boundaries, and national control of its artistic patrimony. A series of chapters detail the law on preservation of U.S. artistic heritage, such as historic preservation law, the ownership of artifacts found on land or under water, and special rules applicable to Native American remains and artifacts. The book concludes with a discussion of rules of international litigation frequently encountered in art law controversies, such as jurisdiction, foreign sovereign immunity, Act of State, forum non conveniens, choice of law, enforcing foreign law, and proving foreign law.

Book Description
The emblem book was invented by the humanist lawyer Andrea Alciato in 1531. The preponderance of juridical and normative themes, of images of rule and infraction, of obedience and error in the emblem books is critical to their purpose and interest. This book outlines the history of the emblem tradition as a juridical genre, along with the concept of, and training in, obiter depicta, in things seen along the way to judgment. It argues that these books depict norms and abuses in classically derived forms that become the visual standards of governance. Despite the plethora of vivid figures and virtual symbols that define and transmit law, contemporary lawyers are not trained in the critical apprehension of the visible. This book is the first to reconstruct the history of the emblem tradition, evidencing the extent to which a gallery of images of law already exists and structuring how the public realm is displayed, made present and viewed.
