Tariku Shiferaw with Charles M. Schultz

Art Law & Art and the Law: A Dialogue Across Disciplines

The practice of art law has continued to develop rapidly in recent years, as stakeholders in the art world have come to realize that the innovative practice of law can support and protect artistic creativity. In developing the Critics Page for this issue, I wanted to highlight the importance of, and the challenges posed by, legal structures and frameworks in artistic practice. This Critics Page highlights many of these innovative art law issues that sustain (or contest) contemporary art practice today, bringing together several of the leading lawyers in the field alongside groundbreaking artists who use legal frameworks as their medium.
