Art loans arouse acute public interest, as the recent Cezanne & Vermeer exhibitions demonstrate. But few realise the legal risks & demands that these immensely valuable transactions impose. Art Loans repairs that omission. Over twenty years have passed since the General Conference of UNESCO called on the nations of the world to adopt more effective legal initiatives for promoting all forms of exchange of cultural objects, including loans & exhibitions. This unique new work examines how those nations have responded to the challenge & provides a detailed analysis of the legal & practical mechanics of art lending. Drawing on four years' research & an unrivaled knowledge of the common law of personal property, the author explores the pitfalls which lurk within every art loan, charts the modern trend towards achieving uniformity, & assesses the place of the modern art loan as a medium of cultural exchange. Art Loans covers both domestic & international art lending & fully treats international touring exhibitions. The author's inquiry extends along three main dimensions: . a theoretical survey of the legal doctrines which bear upon art loans in chosen jurisdictions; . a commentary on the commonlyused, standard forms of lending & borrowing agreements, with regard to the underlying doctrine; & . an analysis of the attitudes of museum officials & others to the operation of law & practice in the field. Through this three-fold examination, Art Loans identifies in logical sequence the legal issues which might arise from a loan or exhibition, giving due emphasis to each aspect according to its practical importance & the depth of treatment it receives in the standard forms. Its thorough coverage in this under-examined area makes Art Loans an essential point of reference for museums, private collectors, companies involved in art lending either primarily or incidentally, & their counsel.
