Law & Policy

Hans Haacke’s usage of the 1971 Siegelaub-Projanksy agreement for his Condensation Cube artwork in 1972.

Each Transfer Agreement and Record is an analog equivalent of digital blockchain ledger entries for decentralized art. The beginning of provenance is shown in the first and second transfers, including names, price, and date. 1st Transfer : Thilo Liemersdorf. 2nd Transfer : Dr. Adolf Luther. 

The NOTICE associated with the artwork gives legal notice to all buyers of the artwork collectors that they are bound by the agreement, and can serve as a certificate of authenticity (COA) as well. The notice is an analog equivalent of contemporary NFTs, when used for these functions. 

Examples of the contract usage are sourced from Maria Eichhorn’s book, The Artist’s Contract.

Seems it hasn’t changed much since 2016-2021.

The downtown is still a mess, more closed stores, but fine. The edges of the city are still beautiful and great places to be.
