Art at the Edge of the Law examines the fine line that artists have often trod between the legal and the legally ambiguous. Frequently the transgression is conceptual rather than directly confrontational, as in Richard Prince's copyright infringements or Gregory Green's pirate station, though no less powerful for that (Barton Lidice Benes's assemblages involving his own HIV-infected blood, for example). Among the artists included are Janine Antoni, Gregory Green, Dennis Oppenheim, Richard Prince, Tom Sachs, Fred Tomaselli and Tom Friedman.
