About the Author :

Review :
While the book has a strong focus on English and international law, it may be of great interest to lawyers who advise people in the arts industry - particularly as it explores a combination of topics that not many books are brave enough to tackle, and enlightens the reader with an eye-opening historical analysis of the subject matter covered. This is a highly recommended read. -- Sharon Givoni Intellectual Property Law Bulletin This is an original and scholarly work setting art in a postmodern context and looking at various strands of the relationship between law and art. Like his earlier book, every art lawyer should have a copy. -- Simon Stokes Entertainment Law Review, Volume 25, Issue 25 The arduous protection of the artist's rights in our contemporary time is explored through a series of important cases described both from a legal and a philosophical perspective, leading the reader to reflect on the ontological status of art itself...Freedom of Artistic Expression represents a powerful and deep analysis of the art-law dialectic, supported by a multifaceted examination of all the factors, both literal and jurisprudential, that intervene in this conflicting relationship. -- Anja Meyer Polemos, Volume 8. No. 2. 2014 At a time when freedom of expression has come under fierce attack...this book provides invaluable assistance to all those who are engaged in fighting the good fight...The book instructs us in law, and is a truly pioneering work. -- A.G. Noorani Frontline Magazine, January 9 2015
