Featuring international contributions from leading and emerging scholars, this innovative Research Handbook presents a panoramic view of how law sees visual art, and how visual art sees law. It resists the conventional approach to art and law as inherently dissonant - one a discipline preoccupied with rationality, certainty and objectivity; the other a creative enterprise ensconced in the imaginary and inviting multiple, unique and subjective interpretations. Blending these two distinct disciplines, this unique Research Handbook bridges the gap between art and law.

Industry Reviews

'The collection of essays edited by Jani McCullen and Fiona McGaughey is a welcome contribution to the thorny relationship between law and the arts. This volume offers diversified perspectives on law and art, both through the examination of copyright and the various laws presiding the protection of the work of art. The examination of how law permeates art and, conversely, how art can be instrumental in exposing the miscarriages of law, makes this critical work a milestone in the studies concerning the interrelation between law and art, going well beyond the way law and art have been connected and compared so far.' -- Daniela Carpi, Polemos: Law, Literature & Culture

'In an age where imaginative thinking is needed more than ever, this lively meeting of minds is a most welcome endeavor. Moving beyond registers of opposition, this wide-ranging collection addresses the intersection of art and law as a necessary provocation for thinking more deeply about what it means to live fully and justly. Lawyers, judges, legal theorists, philosophers, curators and artists are deftly brought together, making this Research Handbook invaluable for anyone invested in the intersection of law and culture.'
--Joan Kee, University of Michigan, US

'In a world increasingly dominated by the visual - a world also in which ''the law'' and its promise of justice absorb giant and global political and interdisciplinary challenges - there is no more timely book than this one investigating the relationships between visual art and law.'
--Jessica Silbey, Northeastern University, US
