Georgia Consignment of Art Act

The act governs consignment arrangements between artists and art dealers — those in the business of selling works of fine art, other than sellers exclusively at public auction. It treats consigned property as trust property held for the artist, placing it beyond the claims, liens, and security interests of the dealer's creditors, and it voids any contract term purporting to waive the act's protections. A dealer who violates its requirements is liable to the artist for a fixed statutory sum together with actual damages, including incidental and consequential damages, and reasonable attorney's fees.
