The Art Collecting Legal Handbook, now in its third edition, is a comprehensive legal guide to the ever-changing maze of rules and regulations when acquiring, transporting, and exchanging artworks and antiques.

This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, and features three thematic chapters which analyse recent market trends, the development of NFTs and their reception in the art market, and the application of indirect tax. Subsequent, national chapters cover topics such as legal remedies against fakes, forgeries and counterfeits, import and export restrictions, sanctions and the rules and practices of cultural institutions and museums. With contributions from leading experts in the field, the handbook examines the legal framework governing the collection, preservation, and promotion of cultural goods of over 25 countries around the world, written in a user-friendly Q&A format which allows for easy cross-jurisdictional reference.

Providing a comprehensive and practical guide, this book will be an essential resource for art collectors and their advisers, alongside dealers, galleries, and museums. It will also be beneficial for lawyers specialising in commercial law, cultural heritage and art law, and intellectual property law.
