Waiver of proceeds in trust by artist, requirements

In plain English

An artist who gives their artwork to someone else to sell (a consignor) can give up their right to have the sale money held in trust. But to do that, the artist has to agree to it in writing, and the agreement has to be clear and easy to notice. Even with that agreement, if the person selling the art ends up buying it for themselves, the waiver does not count. Also, giving up that right cannot be used to help pay off the artist's debts in a way that takes away the artist's other protections under this law.
