Artlaw

Online version of the Artlaw column from Art Monthly, which is written by barrister Henry Lydiate. The archive, which is hosted by the Artquest website, goes back to 1976. It can be browsed by topic, including art after death, artists' resale right, censorship, contracts, copyright, money, public policy and commissions, studios, and ways of working. There is also a keyword search facility. Artquest is an information hub for artists.
