Art Under the First Amendment: Freedom, Limits, and Controversy
In this episode, Paris and Andrea are joined by Simon Frankel and Stephen Urice, co-authors of the newly released 6th edition of Law, Ethics, and the Visual Arts, the leading textbook shaping the field of art law.
Together, they explore the complex relationship between artistic freedom and government authority and unpack how the First Amendment applies to visual art.
From the cancellation of Amy Sherald’s exhibition at the Smithsonian to landmark legal battles over obscenity and censorship, we ask:
- What counts as protected expression?
- When, and why, can the government intervene?
- And who ultimately controls the art that reaches the public?
