Artistic authorship is fundamental to how we interpret and value
artworks. The figure of the solitary, creative genius underpins the
symbolic and monetary values we ascribe to artworks; yet artistic
authorship, like ownership, is often contested and unstable. This
interdisciplinary collection of essays, written from legal, art
historical and art market perspectives, critically examines the
construction and iteration of the artist-author both during the
lifetime of the artist and beyond - when artistic authorship is
stewarded by others, including artists' estates, foundations and
museums. Drawing on current cases and past legal disputes, this
important anthology addresses enduring issues that have become
central to the contemporary art world, such as the collision
between artists' rights and the rights of the owners of artworks,
the problems of authentication and who has the final authority to
determine authenticity, and the role of artists' estates as legacy
guardians.

The first retrospective monograph on internationally acclaimed
Danish artist's collective Superflex, "An Artist with 6 Legs"
catalogues the group's work from 1993 to 2013. The first major
museum retrospective for this group--known for their participatory,
politically engaged projects which they call "tools"--is
appropriately unconventional, comprised of eight individual
retrospectives curated by Eungie Joo, Yuko Hasegawa, Toke
Lykkeberg, Daniel McClean and Lisa Rosendahl, Adriano Pedrosa,
Agustin Perez Rubio, Hilde Teerlinck and Rirkrit Tiravanija.
Kunsthal Charlottenborg also signed a contract prohibiting the
institution, the artists or the curators from mentioning the group
by name during the exhibition's run--hence the replacement of the
name "Superflex" with a black bar or the characters "XXXXXXX
throughout the catalogue. "An Artist with 6 Legs" is both
conceptual provocation and an essential reference.
This handbook provides the definitive guide to commissioning
contemporary art. Every step and stage is revealed and demystified
- from the initial invitation to an artist to the financing of a
project, from the drafting of contracts to the final siting and
installation of works, from the care and preservation of
commissioned pieces to their interpretation and publicity.
Combining theoretical and conceptual considerations with practical
ones, Buck and McClean's lively and instructive text is
supplemented with copious quotations and insights from some of the
best-known artists, curators, commissioners and museum directors of
today, including Nicholas Serota, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Jeff Koons,
Vito Acconci, Mark Wallinger, Anish Kapoor, RoseLee Goldberg,
Thomas Krens, Anne Pasternak, Barbara Gladstone, Mera Rubell, and
Olafur Eliasson, to provide a detailed and informed how-to guide to
the commissioning process.
