I'm a freelance artist. I gave some paintings to a restaurant to hang on their walls. The usual arrangement is that they're for sale so the restaurant gets free decoration and I get exposure. None sold after about a year so i decided to take them back. When I went to collect my paintings one was missing. I had the missing work priced at 2500. There was no written agreement but its a fairly common arrangement in the art world. Do i have a leg to stand on legally? i.e. are the restaurant obligated to give me the value they had it displayed at if they can't find it?
Thanks for your help.
