I'm honoured to be the next Director of the Institute of Art and Law. With the great Ruth Redmond-Cooper stepping down, those are big shoes to fill! But we have a great team (including new Assistant Director Emily Gould) and have exciting things planned for the year(s) ahead.
After 26 years with IAL, Ruth Redmond-Cooper will be stepping down as IAL Director. She will stay on as IAL consultant and journal editor.
@artlawalex
will become Director; Emily Gould Assistant Director. We're all excited about this next chapter.

How many versions of the famous 'Little Dancer, 14 Years' did Edgar Degas make in his lifetime? Answer: ONE, in wax.
After he died in 1917, his heirs made 28 copies in bronze, now in museums around the world. Can these be called true works by Degas?

Denmark colonised Greenland from 1721 to 1953 & collected many artefacts. Then, from 1984 to 2008, it engaged in a process of Utimut (Greenland word for 'return'), & returned 35,000 objects - considered by many a successful repatriation.
