Bibliographic information

Description

A guide to buying art, published by the Korea Arts Management Service and edited by ArtLab Unlimited. It sets out what a buyer should check before and after a purchase as a set of basic principles and as seven steps, from identifying the seller through the work's provenance and condition, the basis of its price, the contract and payment, delivery and care, and resale. Sections on transactions bundled with promised returns, on what to do when something seems wrong, a consolidated checklist, an FAQ and a glossary of trade terms follow. Legal advice by Kathleen Kim.
