2.0 out of 5 stars Boring, artists beware!, September 22, 2009

By	eritak (Florida) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Art Law in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series) (Paperback)

I don't know anything about law, but I had to take an Art and the Law course to graduate. This class was very boring and so was the book. If you don't have to read it, DON'T. If you like law, then maybe you'll appreciate it, but for an artist, don't bother! The plus was that it explained the law, but also explained historical cases where the law applied. Though, it did not show any photos of artwork to be able to better understand the cases--particularly the copyright cases where it would be important to compare. For a "nutshell", it could be worse.

For an artist, I would recommend "Legal Guide for the Visual Artist". It provides examples of the forms that you might have to fill out. It also goes into newer problems within the artistic field, like Digital imagery.
