Art: Artist File lawsuits, Seeking Royalties In the 1973 Sotheby Parke Bernet auction in New York, Robert Scull sold some of his art collection. This helped inaugurate today’s money-soused contemporary-art market. Several artists watched the auction from a standing room only section in the back of the room. That is where the artist, Robert Rauschenberg saw his 1958 painting “Thaw” being sold for 85,000 dollars. His piece was originally sold to Scull for 900 dollars. At the end of the auction Rauschenberg confronted Scull and stated that he did not work so hard for Scull to make that profit. This uproar inspired the California Resale Act to come about. This act required anyone reselling a piece of fine art, living in the state or selling the art in the state, for 100,000 dollars or more to pay the artist 5 percent of the resale price. This law is now brought to action this month by three artists such as: Chuck Close, Laddie John Dill and the estate of the sculptor Robert Grahm.

Under the California law no payment is due if the price drops. These suits do not show the damages and they do not list sales of art by California Residents. Eric George is the lawyer that filed these law suits. He explained

Art History Comparison Paper

Comparing Two Works of Art I went to the Swope Art Museum for the second time as required in the class assignment, and I found it just as rewarding as the first time I visited. I made time to go in, find my piece, and quickly leave after I had taken a few pictures. Instead, I lost track of time and completely ignored my phone. The artwork was so captivating, and all the pieces took my attention. Most of the pieces were ones I had seen already, but I noticed things I hadn’t noticed in the first…
