Description
February 2010 marks the fourth anniversary of the introduction into UK law of the Artist's Resale Right (ARR). Invented by the French around a century ago, where it is known as droit de suite, ARR gives authors of original artworks an automatic legal right to receive a royalty each time one of their works is resold in a sale involving an art market professional. ARR legislation spread through mainland Europe during the 20th century. It gained momentum when it was introduced into the worldwide international agreement, the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, which encouraged signatory countries (most of the world) to enact ARR legislation. In 2001, further momentum was stimulated by UNESCO's declaration: 'All original works of fine art in its widest sense, including works of graphic art and photographs of a creative nature, which are resold on the art market in the world, must be subject to droit de suite legislation.' The same year, the EU issued a directive requiring all EU member states to introduce a common scheme into their domestic laws by 2006. The EU scheme now operates not only in the 27 EU member states, but also in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Beyond the EU, ARR operates in an increasing number of countries, including: Algeria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Chile, Congo, Costa Rica, Croatia, Ecuador, Guinea, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Laos, Madagascar, Mali, Monaco, Morocco, Peru, Philippines, the Russian Federation, Senegal, Serbia and Montenegro, Tunisia, Turkey and Uruguay. There is no federal ARR legislation in the US, where the only state to introduce it is California--despite it having been debated in a dozen or so other state legislatures.
