The Art Collecting Legal Handbook, now in its third edition, is a cross-border legal guide designed to help collectors, dealers, institutions and legal advisers navigate the ever-changing maze of rules and regulations when acquiring, moving, and sharing works of art and antiquities.
Thoroughly revised and updated, this third edition 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. The main, national chapters cover topics such as legal remedies against fakes, forgeries and counterfeits, import and export restrictions, sanctions, the rules and practices of cultural institutions and museums, and tax. 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 20 countries around the world, written in a user-friendly question-and-answer 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.

Critical Acclaim
‘Art dealers are still all too often perceived as international social butterflies who mingle with the super rich hoping to conclude a transaction over a bubbly glass of champagne. This couldn’t be furthest from the truth. Far beyond the usual clichés, art professionals are responsible by law not only of the artwork itself (authenticity, pedigree, provenance, and title) but also of the legal structure used throughout a transaction, including VAT (or any other applicable taxes), customs procedures, and full documentation according to the jurisdictions of the different countries involved. The professional liabilities are simply too important nowadays that legal due diligence has become a cornerstone of our daily work.
The Art Collecting Legal Handbook provides us with insightful answers covering the key questions in our field and offering a pragmatic overview of the applicable law in multiple jurisdictions.'

‘To effectively operate on an international scale, it is crucial to have a thorough understanding of all relevant legal jurisdictions, encompassing aspects such as the acquisitions made in good faith, safeguarding cultural assets, and loans for public exhibitions. The Art Collecting Legal Handbook has been a consistent source of reliable and cohesive information for my team and me, making it my recommendation to any collector or institution in need of valuable insights prior to seeking legal advice.’
– Jean Claude Gandur, Fondation Gandur pour l’Art, Switzerland
‘The third edition of The Art Collecting Legal Handbook is a readable, expert analysis of the key trends and issues underpinning art business today. Covering everything from restitution to NFTs in over 25 of the most important jurisdictions in the art market, there could not be a more authoritative guide for collectors and other art world professionals navigating a path through the post-Covid art world.’
– Gareth Harris, The Art Newspaper, UK
‘One of the most fascinating and enjoyable aspects of Art Law as a legal discipline is its sheer breadth and diversity. That breadth exists primarily due to the wide range of legal and ethical considerations which can affect art. The discipline of art law is also constantly evolving as a result of the meeting of art and technology and by shifting public attitudes to cultural property. Bruno Boesch and Massimo Sterpi's excellent The Art Collecting Legal Handbook is a practical Handbook which celebrates the multi-faceted discipline of art law while also providing a comprehensive and comprehensible guide to lawyers and non-lawyers. Presented in a question and answer format, leading art lawyers throughout the world provide answers to a series of key questions on Contract Law, Consumer Protection, Cultural Property Protection, Taxation, Compliance and NFTs. As an international auction house general counsel this handbook is my go-to resource for guidance on questions of international art law.’
