Resolving Arts Disputes Through Mediation
Monday, March 16th, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Artists and art professionals are increasingly turning to mediation to resolve their disputes, rather than going to court. Mediation is private and confidential (whereas litigation is public), and can save time and money. Parties retain control of the process and may reach a creative resolution based on their real interests. We will examine actual court cases, and through simulated mediation exercises, imagine how we might have resolved the disputes if we were the parties to the litigation.
A visit to the Betty Cunningham Gallery
Tuesday, March 24th 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Betty Cunningham, an important New York veteran contemporary art dealer, will be interviewed by Prof. Stephen Rosenberg regarding her career in the art world, opinions on the changing shape and feel of the art world, best practices re artist-dealer relations, client -dealer relations, art fairs, communications and marketing, etc., and the effect of the current economic climate on the contemporary art world.
Marketing the Arts; History and Techniques

New Challenges in New Media
Monday, April 20th 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
The Internet poses unique challenges on how to apply the law as it affects on-line images. Today images can be scanned and digitised, as well as electronically uploaded, downloaded, reproduced, and manipulated. What rights are implicated? We will discuss recent cases addressing intellectual property and First Amendment issues in new technologies.
Trademark and Art
Monday, May 11th, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Galleries, museums, as well as artists turn to trademark law to protect their name, image, and likeness in commerce. Artists have invoked trademark law to protect their style and to poke fun at iconic images, such as Barbie. Should artistic style be protected, or would that stifle creativity? What is the proper balance between First Amendment free speech and parody in the trademark context?

Thursday, May 14th, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Fee: $50 per class.

American Fine & Decorative Art Audit Classes
Join the students in the American Fine and Decorative Art Programme in their study of paintings, sculpture, furniture, and other decorative arts of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The rich traditions of American artists and craftsmen are considered in light of the contemporary political and cultural context, which then, as now, drives the art market, the interests of clients, and the ability of artists to create at the highest levels.
Tiffany Glass
Thursday, February 26th, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
This lecture examines the career of Louis Comfort Tiffany, whose innovative designs and revolutionary glass brought him international recognition throughout the 1890s and into the first decade of the 20th century. Recent scholarship on Tiffany has broadened our view of his work by detailing the contributions of his worker – many of whom had previously remained anonymous – and highlighting the role of his female workers. In addition, we will consider Tiffany’s relationship to the Art Nouveau movement through both his decorative commissions and the objects he produced.
Art Pottery
Monday, March 9th, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Following the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, Americans increasingly began to make artistic pottery. What began essentially as a hobby for genteel women soon became a nation-wide industry that earned American decorative arts the world’s respect. This lecture traces the evolution of American art pottery from its origins through the Arts and Crafts period and covers well-known firms such as Rookwood, Grueby, and Van Briggle as well as individual potters like George Ohr and Adelaide Robineau.
Modernism
Tuesday, April 28th, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
In the early 1920’s, Paul Strand succinctly described the modern impulse in America when he stated that the new Trinity was “God the Machine, Materialistic Empiricism the Son, and Science the Holy Ghost.” With increasing faith in rational, scientific design and buttressed by developments in Europe, American designers began to create objects that would meet this new society’s needs, an reflect its new values. At times both eccentric and visionary, designers like Buckminster Fuller, Raymond Loewy, and Norman Bel Geddes defined pre-war American Modernism.
Painting up to Pollock
Wednesday, May 13th, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, and against substantial odds, some American painters continued to embrace an aggressively modern style. Despite the economic depression, increasing international tensions, and a tendency of American audiences to embrace the folksy, regionalist realism, a group of younger painters, European exiles, and influential critics found common ground in their progressive beliefs. As one artist noted “So-called abstract painting is the expression of art in this age.” Painters like Ad Reinhardt, Stuart Davis, and Arshile Gorky embraced the vernaculars of cubism and surrealism to create this new form.
Fee: $50 per class.
