ARTIST'S RESALE RIGHT

EDM number 1963 in 2007-08, proposed by David Drew on 07/07/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Art works and Intellectual property.

That this House congratulates the Government on successfully introducing the Artist's Resale Right in 2006; notes that under the new right the Design and Artists Copyright Service has so far collected more than £5.2 million on behalf of more than 1,500 artists, who have now received royalties with an average payment of £501 per work of art; believes this has strengthened the flourishing British art market by supporting struggling artists; and considers that the right should be extended to the estates of deceased artists as soon as possible without extending the current derogation beyond 2010.

This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs.
