Artists' Rights

The Artist's Resale Right will be fully established on 1 January 2012, aligning it with all other EU member states. At present, the Right allows visual artists a modest royalty when their works are resold through auction houses, galleries and art dealers. The final implementation of the Right will extend royalties to deceased artists' families and beneficiaries.
