Summary: Art in the Courtroom
Review: This is a fascinating book about five different art trials dealing with various issues. (It has been reviewed as a book about copyright law, but this is a small part of it. The trials deal with the artists, Koons, Warhol, Serra, Finley and Wojnarowicz.

The book has fascinating details about the various trials that can not be found in other places. It is full of intereesting facts, like Warhol had 90,000 pieces of his own art in his estate. The valuation hearing described Christie's method of appraisal, etc.

This is a book worth having if you are seriously interested in contmporary art.

I enjoyed it and I would guess that others would as well.
