What is an ‘intervention’?

An intervention is a legal process where a third-party organization or individual, such as the court or a law firm, represents the interests and rights of an artwork or artwork owner in a dispute. In North Carolina, interventions are allowed in certain situations, such as when an artwork is under threat of destruction, when an artwork has been damaged or removed without permission, or when an artwork has been improperly sold or transferred. In an intervention, the court or law firm may work to determine the ownership of an artwork, work to preserve its integrity or value, or even put in place measures to ensure that the artwork is not damaged or stolen in the future. Additionally, an intervention could be used to stop an artwork from being sold or transferred without the permission of the rightful owner. Interventions also usually come with an injunction, which is a court order prohibiting any action that could cause damage to the artwork or its owner.
