Art Law and Arts Management International Hellenic University

Overview

Particular emphasis will be placed upon the legal, financial and political considerations and the corresponding regulatory approaches implemented in Europe and elsewhere concerning the creation of digital works of art, the art trade, the operation of the markets concerned, the function of intellectual property law at the EU and international level, the protection of cultural heritage and protection against unlawfully acquired works of art.

The Art Law and Arts Management programme of the International Hellenic University adopts a multi-disciplinary approach and is addressed to graduates of various academic backgrounds, including law, economics, political science, history of art, philosophy, etc., who wish to specialize in the interrelation between art, law and the economy.

• legal and financial expertise on the operation and management of art markets (including sales of works of art, art portfolio management, art auctions etc.);

• in-depth knowledge on the national and international legal framework on national heritage, monument preservation, art loans or archaeology laws;

• intellectual property law expertise within a globalized art market;

• insights on those fields of law (constitutional, civil, penal etc.) affecting the legal protection of works of art.
