No fine art secured lender shall sell or dispose of any fine art left with such fine art secured lender in deposit or pledge for money loaned or as a result of the purchase of such fine art on condition of selling the same back again at a stipulated price in less than sixty days from the date when the same is left in deposit or pledge or purchased on condition of selling the same back again at a stipulated price, except when such sale or disposition is to the person who deposited, pledged or sold such fine art or an authorized agent of such person. All such fine art may be sold or disposed of at the place of business of such fine art secured lender or at public sale after such sixty-day period. Upon the expiration of sixty days from the date when such fine art is left with a fine art secured lender, if the person who deposited or pledged such fine art fails to redeem any such fine art in accordance with the terms of the transaction, such right of redemption or repurchase on the part of the person who deposited or pledged such fine art shall be extinguished and the fine art secured lender shall acquire the entire interest in the fine art that was held by the person who deposited or pledged such fine art prior to such deposit or pledge without further notice to such person. The provisions of this section shall not apply if a fine art secured lender and a person who leaves fine art with such lender have entered into a contract regarding the disposal of such fine art.
