What is an ‘intervention’?

An ‘intervention’ is a legal process in Florida art law where a third party, usually an art gallery or a museum, can step in and take ownership of a work of art or artifact from an owner who is considered to be in default of their ownership or storage obligations. This usually occurs when the owner has neglected or is refusing to maintain proper care of the item in question, and it is at risk of damage or destruction. Interventions are designed to protect the value of artworks and artifacts by keeping them out of the hands of irresponsible or neglectful owners. The intervention process involves legal action in court, including a period of public notification of the intervention initiative, and is often the only way to protect works of art and artifacts from being lost or destroyed due to improper care.
