Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
Abstract
The note examines the contrasting regulatory landscapes of the U.S. and Australian art markets, highlighting how excessive regulation can inadvertently harm market value and artist livelihoods. It argues that while the U.S. art market operates with minimal federal oversight, Australia’s heavily regulated indigenous art market has suffered unintended consequences, such as weakened sales and increased market supply. The analysis serves as a cautionary tale for the U.S. as it considers stronger regulation of its own art market.
