Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The Art Business Encyclopedia, compiled by notable art lawyer DuBoff, contains a wealth of terminology, phrases, and concepts relating to the business and legal aspects of art. Each entry provides the user with excellent information, which is cross-referenced to other appropriate terms. Various appendixes outline, by state, legal statutes pertaining to print and multiple disclosure, artist-dealer consignment, art dealers/sellers, art works, and other special provisions. Also included is a listing of volunteer lawyer organizations. The only negative comment concerns the lack of complete legal citation-either public law, Statutes-at-Large, or U.S. code numbers-within the text of entries relating to acts passed by Congress. The Artist's Resource Handbook is primarily an arts organization/services directory containing extensive background information, description, and commentary. Chapters focus on career assistance, working with arts organizations, professional and legal services, public and private funding sources, and health and safety in the arts. The final chapter concentrates on a code of ethical conduct for artists. Copublished with the American Council for the Arts, these two indispensable reference sources complement each other nicely and are both highly recommended for art and reference collections.

Review
"DuBoff is scholar, sage, and scribe. Herein are the definitions, advice, counsel and common sense necessary to survive in the art business. Keep it handy." -- George E. Hicks, Director, Airmen Memorial Museum
"My colleague, Len DuBoff, has done it again! DuBoff's ability to encapsulate in a few paragraphs the essential meaning of hundreds of complex terms and concepts in the art world makes The Art Business Encyclopedia a user friendly tool for the producer, collector or purchaser of creative products in the art market. In the guise of defining terms like copyright, contract, authenticity, etc., DuBoff provides us with a highly intelligent art business primer." -- Barbara Hoffman, Arts Lawyer and Professor
"No gallery business, intent on success, should be without this invaluable reference guide. After 15 years as a fine art dealer, I have found no better source for reliable advice on the day-to-day operation of my gallery." -- Fred von Weigen, Owner, Ship Store Galleries
"Since being in the art business requires learning the language of that business and properly applying it, the Art Business Encyclopedia, written by Leonard DuBoff, is a resource for all members of the art community. . ." -- Antiques & the Arts Weekly
"Tackles the business end of things, compiling details on tax deductions, and allowable business expenses, financial statements and management, local art laws, and bookkeeping methods. A fine approach for artists and curators alike." -- The Bookwatch
"The Art Business Encyclopedia is a concise and informative guide to the questions which were neither asked . . . nor answered in art class. Speaking as a professional artist who has learned business by trial and error, I know that this book would have saved me endless hours (and more than a few dollars) spent in the school of hard knocks." -- Suzanne Marie Williamson, Artist
"The Art Business Encyclopedia is a unique addition to the books designed to help artists survive and prosper. It is a definitive, easy to use, practical, and insightful about the real issues that artists face. Every artist will benefit from owning--and frequently referring to--this excellent volume." -- Alice Asmar, Artist
"The Art Business Encyclopedia is an enormously useful compendium that clearly will be indispensable to virtually all members of the art world--collectors, curators, lawyers, accountants, dealers, consultants, writers, and involved laymen. The volume promises to become the standard, defining work in its field." -- Andre Emmerich, Andre Emmerich Gallery
