Samenvatting
In the currently super-heated market for contemporary art, galleries are increasingly seeking to maintain control over an artist's work, even after it has been sold. Today several dealers of contemporary art are placing a right of first refusal in their sales documents, requiring buyers to offer the art back to the dealer before selling to anyone else. Some, including dealers, maintain that these restrictions protect artists, the market, and even collectors. However critics of these contracts disagree. |
