I outline the emerging specialty of philosophy of art law -- its
purpose, object of study, and subject matter -- and compare it
with legal analysis and reasoning, established work in philosophy
of law, and the "law and literature movement." The purposes
of philosophy of art law are considered, including its impact
on the practice of art law, as well as the broadening of the communities
of discourse about art studied by philosophers. The subject matter
of philosophy of art law is sketched, including epistemological,
metaphysical, and axiological issues.
