The Art & Law Program Announces Fall 2019 Fellows
The Art & Law Program is happy to announce the Fall 2019 Art & Law Fellows. Once again, our decision-making was extremely difficult given our applicant pool. The incoming group includes a broad and diverse range of artistic, intellectual and professional interests, and we very much look forward to working with them.

This will allow the fellows an opportunity to examine how sectors of the art industry— such as academia, the ...
Roberta Smith on San Francisco’s Disputed George Washington Murals
In a democracy, destroying a work of art is never a solution to any offense it may give. Once art has been made and released into the often choppy flow of life, it should stay there. It will live on anyway. To dictate its elimination is an implicitly autocratic move, similar in spirit, if not scale, to the deliberate demolition of ancient art and artifacts by the Taliban and the Islamic State.

Revisiting: Interview with Tom Lawson, Dean of CalArts School of Art
For the next several weeks I'll be bringing back some oldie but goodie reads from Clancco's past. We'll start off with this interview with CalArts School of Art dean, Tom Lawson, which took place the glorious sunny afternoon of October 7, 2006, at the Spain Restaurant in Los Angeles, California, hours before the New York Mets swept the Los Angeles Dodgers to win the National League Division Series. The interview covers a wide range of questions: from Lawson’s artistic career, deanship at CalArts, and writing publications, to Lawson’s current thoughts on contemporary art, art pedagogy and the ...
Ferrari recognized as work of art
Image courtesy of Motohide Miwa. An Italian commercial tribunal in Bologna has recognized the Ferrari 250 GTO car not only as a classic, but as a work of art that is entirely original and fully protected by intellectual property rights. Given that only 36 of these GTOs were produced between 1962 and 1964 (with one selling last year at auction for $48.4 million), another company in the northern city of Modena thought it a good idea to produce 250 replicas.

Comments Off on “sometimes the legalities were: ‘Don’t talk about it, we don’t really know the answer!’”
On land art,
Purchasing and leasing land, figuring out what the legalities were; sometimes the legalities were: ‘Don’t talk about it, we don’t really know the answer!’ To build these objects was always an exercise in working in fields well outside of the visual arts. To maintain them, to steward them now, continues to be that.”
