In this paper, I reviewed the analysis of possible ICC model of international sale contract terms used in the international artwork trade. Based on this, the provisions proposed considering the specialties of the international artworks trade. The purpose of this research study is to help practitioners draw up a contract of international artworks trade. In Chapter II, I reviewed the highlights of the international sale of goods contract. In Chapter III, I discussed the issues that arise in creating specific provisions on the international artworks trade agreements. In Chapter IV, I discussed the issues in creating the general provisions on the international artworks trade agreements. Quantity provisions of the international artworks sales contract should include the "more or less" clause. And it should also clearly define the scope of the author's property rights transfer in the copyright provisions. Even if a buyer has been assigned the copyright of artworks from the artist, if the buyer modifies the artworks without permission, moral rights can be violated. In addition, even if a buyer has been assigned all of the intellectual property rights of the artists, if the buyer does not have the specific provisions, the buyer must keep in mind that the unauthorized publication of artworks, film production, merchandising, etc, may infringe the right to create derivative works.

일반적인 물품의 국제매매계약은 오랜 역사를 두고 연구의 대상이 되어 왔다. 물품의 국제매매계약서 작성시 참고할 수 있는 표준계약서 중 대표적인 것으로 ICC의 모델 국제매매계약서가 있다. 이는 무역 실무자들에게 법적 안정성과 작성의 편의성을 제공하는데 일조하고 있다. 본고에서는 ICC의 모델 국제매매계약서의 내용들을 참고하여, 예술품(조형물을 중심으로)의 국제간 거래에서 이용될 수 있는 계약서의 주요내용을 실질조항과 일반조항으로 나누어 제안하였다.
