More about the book
Focusing on five significant art trials from the past two decades, this work provides a detailed legal analysis while exploring themes of social and art history. It examines complex legal issues such as the First and Fifth Amendments, copyright and contract law, and art valuation, particularly in relation to notable figures like Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons. The trials reflect a broader cultural conflict initiated by social conservatives over artistic expression, particularly involving the National Endowment of the Arts, creating a cohesive narrative about contemporary art's legal challenges.
