LEGALIZATION OF ARTISTS’ RESALE RIGHT (DROIT DE SUITE) AS THE PROTECTION SYSTEM AND INCENTIVE INDONESIA PAINTING

Abstract

Artists’ resale right (Droit de Suite) is the rights of visual artists to receive a percentage of the revenue from the resale of their works in the art market. It is basically very beneficial for painter’s origin if it is applied to the painting. Indonesia does not have the legislation on artists resale right yet. Although Indonesia is considered as a country that has a very high potential in terms of painting. In addition, Indonesia is a country that has ratified the Berne Convention. From this point of view, it is an urgency to legalize artists’ resale rights in Indonesia. The effort to design artists’ resale right rules shall be done through in-depth studies and research on two things, namely formal and substance of the law that will govern the artists’ resale right, hence its real advantages can be taken either by the painter or the people of Indonesia.
