You definitely want to speak with someone at the J. Paul Getty Trust in Los
Angeles.  Earlier this year they had an exhibition, Departures, which was
over a dozen artists creating works inspired by the collections and/or
architecture/gardens of the Getty Museum. My apologies that I do not know of
an actual person to speak with since the show was also guest curated. But, I
am SURE that they had some contracts in place and would be willing to share
their experience with you.

Hope this helps!
