Subject: RE: BS: Stolen Greek art
"Driot de suite" (the right of an artist or to an extent descendants to participate in increased prices on resale of original art) is favoured by the Eurocentric international conventions and pretty well universal in Europe, but is not perpetual. The normal duration is life + 70. Australia has it too.

I believe it has been implemented in California and I think there is talk about New York coming into line although it was defeated there once.
