This book takes an interdisciplinary, transnational and
cross-cultural approach to reflect on, critically examine and
challenge the surprisingly robust practice of making art after
death in an artist's name, through the lenses of scholars from the
fields of art history, economics and law, as well as practicing
artists. Works of art conceived as multiples, such as sculptures,
etchings, prints, photographs and conceptual art, can be-and often
are-remade from original models and plans long after the artist has
passed. Recent sales have suggested a growing market embrace of
posthumous works, contemporaneous with questioning on the part of
art history. Legal norms seem unready for this surge in posthumous
production and are beset by conflict across jurisdictions.
Non-Western approaches to posthumous art, from Chinese emulations
of non-living artists to Native American performances, take into
account rituals of generational passage at odds with contemporary,
market-driven approaches. The book will be of interest to scholars
working in art history, the art market, art law, art management,
museum studies and economics.
