Cultural Property Laws Website Launched

From The Art Newspaper:

The International Foundation for Art Research (IFAR) has launched a website compiling foreign cultural property laws and other information affecting the ethics and legality of transferring cultural property. The resource (viewable at www.ifar.org/art_law.php) also creates a database of catalogues raisonnés for artists.

The site is intended to help people navigate the large body of law relating to acquisition, ownership and authenticity of art objects, and was aided by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Studies.
