ICOM-CC Legal Issues in Conservation Working Group 2014-2017 Interim
    Meeting
New York City
June 3, 2016

The Legal Issues in Conservation Working Group is planning to hold
its 2014-2017 Interim Meeting on Friday, June 3, 2016 in New York
City.  The goal of this meeting is to look at the rights of living
artists when it comes to the restoration of their work.  What rights
do they have after they have sold their work, and how should
conservators deal with those rights?  These questions deal not only
with moral and legal rights, but also with issues of artist
sanction, and what say artists have in the restoration, remaking, or
reinstallation of their works.

The meeting will include short talks, and a Socratic dialogue
modelled after the dialogue held at the 2014 ICOM-CC triennial
meeting in Melbourne.

You are invited to contribute a short talk on this issue including
case studies and problems you have faced, or are facing in practice
and/or on research you are doing in this area.

Please send a title and short abstract to the Working Group
Coordinator, Rebecca Rushfield, wittert<-at->juno<.>com by February 12,
2016.

There are no plans to publish the contributions, nor will there be a
traditional review process.  Based on the number of contributions
and the topics covered, the Organizing Committee may group related
talks to facilitate discussion, and will determine how long the
individual presentations can be.  Presenters will be informed of
this by March 11, 2016.  Further details of the meeting will be
available at the end of February 2016.
