#artlaw — Public Fediverse posts

🎨✨ Mondrian's art is now a free-for-all, yet the Estate clutches its pearls, screeching about mysterious 'dual copyrights' and Spanish voodoo law. Clearly, no one explained to them that public domain is not a suggestion. 🚫📜 #ArtisticHoarders

Scandalous Patterns of Delaying Tactics in Holocaust-linked Art Restitution Cases

Exhaust families. Run out the clock. Smokescreen of "errors".

Finally: I see reporting that says that the items stolen from the BM are possibly worth "tens of millions of pounds". I find that to be unlikely:

1. Most Roman etc gems on the market are in the few thousand range. Just because a gem is in the BM doesn't mean it is valuable.

2. A piece stolen from a museum has an actual value of zero. NO ONE wants to buy something stolen from a museum. They only have value if the BM is the one selling them.

When artworks are restituted, their provenances contain valuable information for researchers, historians and families.

#introduction or rather #reintroduction

I'm Matthew! I'm an architect who assists with campaigns for return of the Parthenon Sculptures (AKA Elgin Marbles) to Greece - but my interest extends to all forms of cultural property disputes & looting of ancient artefacts - plus a fair bit of ancient Greek history too.

I blog at: http://elginism.com/ but not nearly as often as I want to.

Hello Mastodon. My introductory post. I am a lawyer and author in the #art world. I live in #lewes and am far too old and untalented to be enjoying football with #lewesvets as much as I do. My interests are #music #politics #artlaw backcountry #ski and #football - particularly #BHAFC and #lewesfcwomen. I’m hoping Mastodon will be a place for tolerance, debate and discussion rather than the place that Twitter has become.

Anyone interested in an @artcrime group? Only a few #ArtCrime, #ArtLaw, #HeritageCrime, and #IllicitAntiquities people are here so far, but why not group the group as we group?
