Abstract "Buying art and collectibles is a passion for Americans. From the imposing sales rooms at Sotheby's to the local swap meet, we all search for objects that are interesting or will increase in value over time (hopefully, both). But few of us know where to go to learn our legal rights and remedies when buying or selling art and collectibles. For example, what if a work of art turns out to be a fake? Or a "rare" stamp or coin isn't as rare as the dealer said? When buying or selling through auction houses, can you negotiate the commission and other terms? Are insurance and other expenses related to art or collectibles tax deductible? This book answers those questions and many, many others, and gives the reader a good working knowledge of legal aspects of buying and selling art and collectibles"-- Provided by publisher.
