The Artist's Case for Droit Moral and Droit de Suite Continues

In September 1986, Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts sponsored a bill, "The Visual Artists Rights Amendment of 1986" which was not unlike many others that had been introduced into the United States Congress in recent years. ft proposed toexpand the Copyright Act of 1976 by granting artists certain control over their works beyond that currently secured under Copyright, contract or tort protections, as well as the ability to share in the proceeds of future (secondary) sales of the work. Although the bill never saw the light of legislative action, the issues it addressed are very much in the forefront of current art and law concerns
