Art law in autumn
News
With no end to the pandemic in sight, we should take this opportunity to assess the growing digitalisation of the art market, the new business models that have emerged this year and their legal boundaries. In fact, several events taking place in the coming weeks will focus on these topics as listed below.
Find out in an article from attorney-at-law Marion Paris and myself about Art Basel's Legal Compliance Process and how, in light of the experiences of other art fairs and of sports associations, arbitration could usefully supplement or even replace the disciplinary procedure put in place. This article was published in French in the Swiss Arbitration Association's latest Bulletin.

Latest publications
Kultur Kunst Recht, edited by Peter Mosimann, Marc-André Renold and Andrea F. G. Raschèr
Completely revised and updated Kultur Kunst Recht is now available in its second edition with numerous new sections by new authors. Since the initial publication in 2009, art and culture law has significantly developed. Spectacular cases (e.g. in the areas of looted art, forgery, art theft, fundamental rights) demonstrate opportunities and boundaries of the legal instruments and remedies. Social developments, in particular technical innovation (introduction of smartphones in 2008 and digitalization in the creation and exploitation of art), require a new legal analysis of the artists’ needs for protection. All of this is addressed in the second edition. I was pleased to contribute with a chapter on authenticity. More information available here.
