2023 New York Laws › ACA - Arts and Cultural Affairs › Title C - Transactions Involving Artists and Their Works › Article 13 - Express Warranties › 13.01 - Express Warranties.

§ 13.01. Express  warranties.  Notwithstanding  any  provision  of any
other law to the contrary:
1. Whenever an art merchant, in selling or exchanging a work  of  fine
art,  furnishes  to  a  buyer  of such work who is not an art merchant a
certificate of authenticity or any similar written instrument it:
(a) Shall be presumed to be part of the basis of the bargain; and
(b) Shall create an express warranty for the material facts stated  as
of the date of such sale or exchange.
2.  Except  as  provided  in  subdivision  four  of this section, such
warranty shall not be negated or limited provided that in construing the
degree of warranty, due regard shall be given the terminology  used  and
the  meaning  accorded  such terminology by the customs and usage of the
trade at the time and in the locality where the sale  or  exchange  took
place.
3.  Language  used in a certificate of authenticity or similar written
instrument, stating that:
(a) The work is by a named author or has a named  authorship,  without
any  limiting words, means unequivocally, that the work is by such named
author or has such named authorship;
(b) The work is "attributed to a named author" means  a  work  of  the
period  of the author, attributed to him, but not with certainty by him;
or
(c) The work is of the "school of a named author" means a work of  the
period  of  the  author, by a pupil or close follower of the author, but
not by the author.
4. (a) An express warranty and disclaimers intended to negate or limit
such warranty shall be construed wherever reasonable as consistent  with
each other but subject to the provisions of section 2-202 of the uniform
commercial  code  on parol or extrinsic evidence, negation or limitation
is inoperative to the extent that such construction is unreasonable.
(b) Such negation or limitation shall be deemed unreasonable if:
(i) the disclaimer is not conspicuous,  written  and  apart  from  the
warranty, in words which clearly and specifically apprise the buyer that
the seller assumes no risk, liability or responsibility for the material
facts  stated  concerning  such  work  of  fine  art.  Words  of general
disclaimer are not sufficient to negate or limit an express warranty; or
(ii) the work of fine art is proved to be a counterfeit and  this  was
not clearly indicated in the description of the work; or
(iii) the information provided is proved to be, as of the date of sale
or exchange, false, mistaken or erroneous.

§ 13.03. Falsifying   certificates  of  authenticity  or  any  similar
  written instrument. A person who, with intent  to  defraud,  deceive  or
  injure another, makes, utters or issues a certificate of authenticity or
  any  similar  written  instrument  for  a  work of fine art attesting to
  material facts which the work does not in fact possess is  guilty  of  a
  class A misdemeanor.

§ 13.05. Express  warranties  for  multiples.  1. When an art merchant
  furnishes the name of the artist of a multiple, or  otherwise  furnishes
  information   required   by  this  title  for  any  time  period  as  to
  transactions including offers, sales or consignments, the provisions  of
  section 13.01 of this article shall apply except that said section shall
  be  deemed  to  include  sales  to  art  merchants.  The  existence of a
  reasonable basis in fact  for  information  warranted  shall  not  be  a
  defense  in  an  action  to enforce such warranty, except in the case of
  photographs produced prior to  nineteen  hundred  fifty,  and  multiples
  produced prior to nineteen hundred.
2. The provisions of subdivision four of section 13.01 of this article
  shall  apply  when  an art merchant disclaims knowledge as to a multiple
  about which information is required by  this  title,  provided  that  in
  addition,   such   disclaimer   shall  be  ineffective  unless  clearly,
  specifically and categorically stated as to each item of information and
  contained in the physical context of other language  setting  forth  the
  required information as to a specific multiple.

  construction would, as a matter of law, be unreasonable.
2. No art merchant who, as  buyer,  is  excluded  from  obtaining  the

  deprived of the benefits of any other provision of law.

  sooner expressly transferred by an instrument,  note  or  memorandum  in
  writing  signed  by  the  owner  of  the  rights  conveyed  or  his duly
  authorized agent.

  reproduction  right  is  made  by  the holder of such right, or his duly
  authorized agent, ownership of the physical work of fine  art  shall  be

  transferred in writing by an instrument, note or memorandum or by  other
  written means, signed by the grantor or his duly authorized agent.

  the fair use of such work of fine art.
5.  Nothing  in this section shall operate or be construed to conflict
  with any rights or liabilities under federal copyright law.

2023 New York Laws › ACA - Arts and Cultural Affairs › Title E - New York State Cultural Resources Act › Article 20 - New York State Cultural Resources Act › 20.07 - Creation and Purposes of a Trust.

§ 20.07. Creation and purposes of a trust. 1. A trust shall be created
  by a special law as a corporate governmental agency and a public benefit
  corporation,  constituting a political subdivision of the state. A trust
  and its corporate existence shall  continue  until  terminated  by  law;
  provided,  however,  that  no  such law shall take effect so long as the
  trust shall have bonds, notes or other  obligations  outstanding  unless
  adequate   provision  has  been  made  for  the  payment  thereof.  Upon
  termination of the existence of a trust, all its rights  and  properties
  not otherwise disposed of shall pass to and be vested in the state.  Any
  net   earnings   of  a  trust,  beyond  that  necessary  to  retire  any
  indebtedness of a trust or to implement the purposes set forth  in  this
  article  and  in  any  special  law, may not inure to the benefit of any
  person other than the state, county or the  municipality  in  which  the
  principal office of the trust is located.
2. A trust shall exercise the powers granted to it by this article and
  by  special  law in cooperation with participating cultural institutions
  solely and exclusively in furtherance of the purposes  of  this  article
  and  such  special  law.  Before  entering  into  any  agreement for the
  construction of a combined-use facility, a facility for a not-for-profit
  cultural organization, or before  making  a  loan  to  a  not-for-profit
  cultural organization, the board of trustees shall hold a public hearing
  and  thereafter shall determine that development of such facility or the
  making of such loan is the most feasible means by  which  such  purposes
  may be effectuated and that the architectural and design characteristics
  of  the  non-institutional  portion  are  compatible  with  those of the
