Artists’ Resale Right rejected

31-03-2009

In March 2009, a Government Committee reported back on the Copyright (Artists’ Resale Right) Amendment Bill, recommending by a majority that the Bill not be passed.

The Bill proposed amending the Copyright Act 1994 to insert a new, stand-alone part to establish a resale right for visual artists in New Zealand.

The Bill was introduced in May 2008. See Artists' Resale Rights bill introduced. It entitled visual artists to receive a royalty payment each time their original artistic work was sold on the secondary art market, through any auction house, gallery, dealer, or any other intermediary or professional involved in the business of dealing in works of art.
