Art Law is structured to deliver both an academic understanding of the key legal concepts that affect art world transactions, as well as detailed procedural considerations to ensure your learnings can be put to practical use. Multiple case studies throughout the course help demonstrate the application of these concepts in courts around the world. Over six modules the course will teach you an understanding of contract law and anti-money laundering procedures, copyright, export regulations, authenticity and forgery, restitution and repatriation, and issues involved in museums and deaccessioning.
Included in the course are six exclusive and in-depth interviews with major legal professionals in the art world.
