Art Reproducers Bite Back
British printmaker, Julia Matcham, sent us this link the other day and it gave me a shiver. Though it’s old news–it dates from 1984–it could very well be a portent of things to come. The article in question, written by London arts lawyer and activist, Henry Lydiate, tells the story of what happened in Windsor, Ontario, when an art-reproductions tempest in a municipal-museum teapot got out of hand.
Here’s the link to the story: http://www.artquest.org.uk/artlaw/contracts/caveat-emptor.htm.
