How can the environment influence behaviour and perception during a jewel heist? PhD researcher Diana Berzina and Associate Professor Donna Yates investigated the jewel heist during TEFAF Maastricht in 2022. 💎 The thieves and their costumes were all over the news, but also the onlookers who didn’t seem to be shocked by what happened in front of their nose were much bespoken. "Art fairs have been specifically designed to influence people. The atmosphere of an art fair is a deeply affective one. The way the crimes that are carried out in this space are affected by the ambience. Yet the same atmosphere also affects the way onlookers experience and interpret these crimes. While outside of the art fair the attire chosen by the thieves and muted reaction to a violent robbery seemed absurd, within the context of art fair both made perfect sense." In her blog on Law Blogs Maastricht, Diana talks us through hers and Donna’s research that gives answers to the question above! 💡 Read the blog here 👉 https://bit.ly/3ItvN82 #MaastrichtUniversity #FacultyofLaw #TEFAFMaastricht

Just Air From Paris “I was looking for a gift for my friend, who already owned everything money can buy, so I brought him a vial of Parisian air.” Such standard pharmacy ampoule filled with air in Paris city center near Vaugirard metro station by Marcel Duchamp in 1919 became a central art object in the modern art collection of his friend Walter Arensberg. This Parisian ampoule looks like a symbolic epitome of Duchamp’s memories, reflections and feelings, when he takes a piece of his surrounding reality where he is happy to share it with his friend far away to try to let him feel the same. It is something similar to with shells and pebbles children like to collect on the sea shore just before their vacation is over to take a piece of already past summer to their homes. Later in 1964 Duchamp ordered his friend to recreate his masterpiece and to fill a similar ampoule with Parisian air at the same location. Recently in was sold (https://lnkd.in/dahdPeKR) at Christie’s for 845 kUSD. However, what is actually protected by effective intellectual property and art law here? Almost nothing. Vial itself was not made by Duchamp. As he said it was standard and was taken from nearby pharmacy. The air inside the vial was typical Parisian air without any specifics that may be legally protected. It is likely that dozens of such vials with Parisian air inside existed long before Duchamp. The only creative element of the artwork was a Duchamp's idea "elevate" the standard vial filled with air to the status of his gift by attaching his memories and reflections to it. At the same time, as we all know, the modern law does not provide protection to such "elevation" and attachment. As a result, today anyone can produce and sell the "canned air" with memories and reflections presumably connected with the specific location on Earth, commercially exploiting creativity of Marcel Duchamp without paying any direct recognition to his art legacy (https://lnkd.in/ddPfDGzD). This also once again underlines the fact that the modern art law is partly outdated since it does not recognize the new approaches in #creative art that appeared almost a century ago.

📌 DO YOU KNOW WHICH ARTISTIC PERIOD IT IS BEST TO INVEST IN? 💥 The world of collecting and, consequently, that of the art market is divided into distinct areas, which act in diametrically different ways. Therefore, if you are dealing with an ancient work of art you will act in a certain way, while with contemporary works the guidelines are different. Strange to say, but even the world of collecting follows fashions and, if until decades ago, everyone wanted to own a work by an ancient master, today things have changed radically. In recent years, the international collecting scene has been occupied by contemporary art, i.e. art produced from the 1960s to today. Do you want some names? Lucio Fontana, Alighieri Boetti certainly stand out in terms of auction results, but also their contemporaries Pistoletto, Peter Doig and many others. Did you know that these artists have made those who managed to invest at the right time earn very large sums? Do you want to know more?
