Law for Artists is an important and long overdue book which both comprehensively gives detailed advise to artists about how to think about their work in relation to the law, and also offers a thorough sign-posted history of the relationship between art and law through the ages. Easy to read, with Blu Tirohls energetic writing and often witty case examples punctuated with Chris Stephens cartoons, Law for Artists is a unique book, and one which will become a staple go-to-guide on the subject.
