Art and Land

When is an artwork part of a building or land? Or can you just take the statue with you when you sell up? Dr David Sawtell, barrister at 39 Essex Chambers, talks to colleague Richard Harwood KC and Clarissa Levi at Wedlake Bell about Henry Moore sculpture in London’s East End, statues of Greek athletes, tapestries and heirs behaving badly.

David Sawtell is the co-author with Richard Harwood and Catherine Dobson of ‘Contested Heritage’ and of books on the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 and the Technology and Construction Court.
