Written especially for
professional artists and those studying the visual arts, Law for Artists is an
accessible guide to those aspects of law that impact on artists and their work.
It encompasses a comprehensive range of creative practices including fine art,
photography, the graphic and plastic arts, animation, illustration, applied and
media arts, as well as fashion, textile and product design. As one of the few
academics working in this field Blu Tirohl clearly explains the legal
principles - such as intellectual property, censorship, freedom of expression
and criminal law - that are relevant to artists working in a range of
disciplines. In order to illustrate these key concepts the book includes an
engaging collection of examples of artists who have come into conflict with the
law, demonstrating precisely the challenges faced by creative practitioners.
The author also explores how the establishment co-opts transgressive artists;
bringing about a range of contradictions that create legal inconsistencies.
While the focus is primarily on UK law, the reader is also given ample
information to understand how European law affects them. An entire chapter is
also dedicated to the comparative study of US Law through well-known cases,
ensuring students have a well-rounded knowledge of the concepts that they need
to consider in a professional context. The book also provides additional
resources including a list of useful websites, a glossary of key terms, as well
as a list of statutes and cases. Law for Artists is an invaluable resource to
professional practitioners and art graduates, as well as the academics who
instruct them. This insightful publication, the first of its kind, helps
introduce artists to the professional practice skills needed to ensure they are
well-equipped to deal with working life.
