COLLECTING PERFORMANCE ART<\/span><\/h2>\n

The contracts governing the sale of an intangible work<\/h2>\n

Performance Art is an artistic form in which the action of an individual or a group identifies with a work of art. <\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Performance Art is linked to the concepts of space and time<\/b>, and it is concretized in the presence or absence of an audience. This can be organized or random, documented or recorded through media. <\/span><\/p>\n

The predominant element is the exclusivity of where and when the performance takes place.<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Performance Art is protected by copyright<\/b>, at national and international level, but its temporary nature poses, however, the problem on how to protect and collect.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The easiest and most common way in the market to sell performances is the sale of photographs, videos and objects derived from the action.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

In favour of the artist there is copyright protection<\/b>, which allows the exclusive right to reproduce the work in whole or in part<\/b>, to authorise recording, distribution, public performance and communication.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, at the contractual level, the artist can define the modalities for the transfer of the performance<\/b>, for example by transferring the exclusive right of reproduction or re-performance<\/b>. Moreover, since copyright is independent of each other,<\/b> the assignment of the performance itself does not automatically include the assignment of the right of re-performance. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The subordination of the effectiveness of the assignment of the credit to the consent of the artist serves, in fact, to protect the <\/b>artist’s interest. <\/b>In this way, the latter is free to choose whether or not to perform in favour of a subject other than the one with whom he had previously agreed, in order to safeguard his prestige. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

An example of the transfer of the right to re-execute the performance is given by the artist F\u00e9lix Gonz\u00e1lez-Torres,<\/b><\/span><\/a> who for works such as “Untitled” (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) of 1991 and exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago<\/b> has provided a contract in which he gives instructions to materially supply the works, such as a stack of sheets or candy. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The artist then communicates instructions, which the buyer must then follow and execute. <\/span><\/p>\n

The authenticity of the performance depends on compliance with these instructions. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The contract concerning a performance is an intangible work contract<\/b>, not subject to any formal requirements, but subject to the other requirements of Article 1325 of the Italian Civil Code<\/b><\/span><\/a> which legitimises the agreement between the parties. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The irrelevance of a written form for the transfer of performances is well represented by the case of the artist Tino Sehgal<\/b>, who enters into oral contracts in front of a notary and with witnesses in which he transfers his performances together with instructions for reproducing them, as happened with the collector Giorgio Fasol.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Collecting Performance Art is therefore possible, with due precautions and the right contractual conditions in respect of its creator: the Artist.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

And you, are you ready to collect Performance Art?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
