Last month Leila was quoted by The Art Newspaper and the Observer. With the Art Newspaper she discussed trends in the art market due to the pandemic and resulting lockdowns. In talks with the Observer, Leila spoke about international copyright laws and images in the public domain, including Sandro Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus,” painted over five centuries ago in 1486.
Today Leila was quoted in the NY Times about a recent NFT publicity stunt, the burning of a valuable drawing from Frida Kahlo’s personal diary. The destruction of the work involves copyright issues, fraud implications, and the violation of cultural patrimony laws. Read about the controversial act here.
