The new edition of this insightful work begins with a critical
reexamination of the rival Greek and British claims to the Elgin
Marbles. That case study identifies the questions that continue to
dominate the growing international debate about cultural property
policy and which are subsequently explored in a newly-expanded
array of essays: * Why are people concerned about cultural
property? * Is cultural nationalism a sound organizing principle
for dealing with cultural property questions? * Or is it a relic of
19th century romanticism, kept alive by the power of Byron's
poetry? * How can one rationalize cultural nationalism with the
idea that works of art and antiquities are 'the cultural heritage
of all mankind?' * What are alternative ways of thinking about
cultural property policy and law? The work goes on to pay
particular attention to the law and policy relating to cultural
property export controls and the evolution and development of the
1995 UNIDROIT Convention on the Return of Stolen and Illegally
Exported Cultural Property. The second part of this highly-regarded
book addresses a number of contemporary art law issues in essays on
counterfeit art, the moral rights of artists, the artist's resale
right (droit de suite), the litigation over the Mark Rothko estate,
and problems of museum trustee negligence, conflict of interests,
and misuse of inside information. The author, John Henry Merryman,
is an Emeritus and Affiliated Professor in the Department of Art at
Stanford Law School. He is a widely respected authority in the
fields of international cultural property and art law.
