Exploring the Art Market Maria Boicova-Wynants

Whether creativity is a professional endeavor or just a hobby it usually results in a number (sometimes large) of creative output. What is going to happen with it upon the death of a creative? Are those hundreds of paintings to be kept in storage, thrown away, donated, burned, sold? What about the brushes, easels, hammers or bags of concrete? In this episode, I would like to address the matter of artist’s heritage, as well as pull together some important questions for the artists to reflect upon and for their advisers to take into account in their discussions with their clients.

When someone buys a painting or a sculpture s/he most of the time gets an actual possession of an actual object. Yet, when it comes to performance art, is there a way how to ever own it? Even more so, provided that copyright protects original ideas fixed in a tangible form, is performance art even protectable at all? This episode of “Exploring the art market” podcast explores the performance art from the point of view of authorship, ownership, and protection thereof.

This episode of “Exploring the art market” podcast explores the concept of authorship, or more precisely addresses the question of who can be considered as an author. This seemingly basic and straightforward question surprisingly is not that easy to answer.

When you hear the words “cultural heritage” what comes to your mind? Which would the rights and obligations of owners and holders of it be? Should there be any? And in general — is it about personal ownership and hence personal decision or the society at large needs to always be taken into the equation?

In today’s episode of “Exploring the art market” podcast I would like to talk about the right to destroy.



P.S. The painting I mentioned — Ecce Homo (“Behold the Man”) by Elías García Martínez, dubbed Ecce Mono (“Behold the Monkey”) after the “restoration” by Cecilia Giménez — more on that, including images, here: https://www.amusingplanet.com/2017/01/ecce-homo-botched-painting-that-saved.html
