Art Press Examines Moral Rights of Artists in France vs US
The French magazine art press dedicates a three-part dossier to the moral rights of artists, examining French law, US law, and the specific case of Federico Fellini's film 'Intervista'. In the dossier, Vivet Kanetti argues that French moral rights law grants artists superior protection compared to US law, but this superiority stems from a sacralization of the artwork that is out of step with the modern spirit.
