Biography
Blu Tirohl is the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Gender Studies, lecturing in law for artists, photography, art, gender studies and research methods. She is a panel member on employment tribunals (UK Ministry of Justice).
"Law for Artists is an important and long overdue book which both comprehensively gives detailed advise to artists about how to think about their work in relation to the law, and also offers a thorough sign-posted history of the relationship between art and law through the ages. Easy to read, with Blu Tirohl’s energetic writing and often witty case examples punctuated with Chris Stephens’ cartoons, Law for Artists is a unique book, and one which will become a staple go-to-guide on the subject."
Shawn Sobers, Senior Lecturer of Photography and Media, University of the West of England
