Now in it's expanded Fourth Edition this highly acclaimed reference book presents a comprehensive overview of the legal issues faced by anyone working in the visual arts. The narrative text is arranged into twenty-four chapters covering: copyright, contracts, censorship, moral rights, sales (by artist, gallery, or agent), taxation, estate planning, museums, collecting, and grants.
The book suggests basic strategies, gives information to help with further action, and contains many sample legal forms and contracts. This fourth edition is a complete revision, providing not only updated legal information, but also covering the ever-increasing importance of new media and electronic rights.
As an artist you probably understand that good LEGAL guidance is often the best BUSINESS guidance you can get when it comes to successful promotion and protection of your work. That is why thousands of visual designers and artists have found this Legal Guide to be indispensable.
While Crawford is the author of other helpful books for artists, Legal Guide provides greater detail regarding a variety of topics. Therefore, photographers, painters, printmakers, video and multimedia artists, sculptors, illustrators, textile designers, cartoonists, craftspeople and many others will use this book as their primary legal and business guide. This book will serve as the ideal companion volume to Crawford's more specialized titles found elsewhere in this catalog.
Like Crawford's other books, this Legal Guide includes numerous model contracts and sample forms designed to protect and benefit the artist. Of course, these important documents can be customized, as needed, using the guidance that Crawford clearly provides.
