A2Z Law - Key Takeaways of Art LawAlthough art and antiquities law is neither a separate jurisprudence nor a cohesive legal philosophy, its multidisciplinary nature utilises many areas of legal protection in the regulation and facilitation of art creation, as well as its use and promotion.
The creation, ownership, and transfer of art and antiquities raises a slew of legal issues, including property appraisal, sale, and transfer, as well as civil and criminal culpability. Theft, counterfeiting, and destruction are particularly prevalent in the art industry, and legal resolution is complicated by competing claims, unclear proof, and the application of ancient law.
Furthermore, storing art collections privately or with museums and galleries, as well as repatriating national treasures lost during India's colonial dominion under the British, create legal complexities.
