Book Review: The Law (In Plain English) For Collectors
The Law (In Plain English) For Collectors, one of the most recent in the “Plain English®” series of books, provides helpful advice on all things legal when it comes to art, antiques, and other collectibles.
Attorneys Leonard D. DuBoff and Sarah J. Tugman have penned a guide for collectors: The Law (in Plain English)® for Collectors - A Guide for Lovers of Art and Antiques. The Guide, one of the most recent in the “Plain English®” series of books, provides helpful advice on all things legal when it comes to art, antiques, and other collectibles.
The Guide contains useful and practical information collectors need to know to protect and enjoy their collections.
Subjects covered include how to:
- Navigate purchases and customs
- Select insurance plans
- Properly file taxes
- Loan out pieces to galleries, museums, and shows
- Bestow work to future generations.
For private collectors, gallerists, artists, and others interested in art dealings, “The Law (in Plain English)® for Collectors is an invaluable reference. The information within the book applies to “all levels of collectors, as well as to all forms of art, antiquities, and other collectibles.” The authors explain in the introduction, no matter what you collect, “the same rules and precautions apply.”
The Law (In Plain English)® is an excellent guide. I suspect most people - not just collectors - would find the chapter “The Collector’s Estate” interesting and helpful.
