Springer Book Series:

Studies in Art, Heritage, Law and the Market

The book series Studies in Art, Heritage, Law and the Market provides an international and interdisciplinary forum for volumes that:

  • investigate legal, economic, and policy developments related to arts, heritage, and intellectual property;
  • critically assess how and for whom art and heritage values come about;
  • promote novel forms of user engagement, participatory presentations, and digitalization of arts and heritage;
  • examine the processes that transform cultural objects and practices into arts and heritage; and
  • highlight new approaches in preservation and conservation science.

The series addresses a need for research and practice in the fields of art, culture, conservation, and heritage including a focus on legal and economic aspects. It deals with complex issues such as questions of authenticity and provenance; forgery and falsification; the illicit trade, restitution, and return of cultural objects; the changing roles of museums; the roles of experts and expertise; and the ethics of the art market.
