Abstract

This paper examines the global evolution of resale royalties within the art market, with an emphasis on the transformative role of blockchain technology in enforcing artists’ droit de suite. It delves into the evolution of resale royalties and their enforcement through blockchain technology globally, analyzing diverse approaches in the European Union, the United States of America, Australia, and China, and the universal adaptation of blockchain in this context. Drawing on diverse practices, the paper reveals diverse practices and the complex interplay between economic, legal, and cultural factors in each context. The research underscores blockchain’s potential to offer transparency, security, and efficiency in managing and enforcing resale royalties, as demonstrated by the rise of non-fungible token platforms like OpenSea. The paper also delves into China’s distinctive approach to blockchain, which avoids speculative digital currency markets while fostering digital collectibles within a controlled regulatory framework. The paper concludes by offering strategic recommendations aimed at harmonizing legal frameworks, spurring technological innovation, and preparing markets for these advancements. It calls for a balanced ecosystem that fosters artistic innovation and ensures regulatory compliance, showcasing the enduring influence of early concepts in the current digital era of the art market.
