| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of my project is to examine U.S. laws and regulations that govern the system of international museum art loans. I want to learn how artwork on loan form Europe to the U. S. is protected and what can be done to protect it better. I will focus on the Federal Immunity from Seizure Act (22 Usc § 2459) and § 12.03 of New York's Arts and cultural Affairs Law, also known as the New York Exemption from Seizure Law. The purpose of the latter, which was amended in 2000, is to protect the artwork of nonresident lenders from "any kind of seizure" while on exhibit in New York State. I will specifically examine the impact the Egon Schiele case at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York city had on changing the law and on collections management practices. The larger goal of this analysis is to make collections managers in art museums in the U.S. aware of the many complex legal issues and risks that surround art loans from Europe. | |
