Art Law

Last updated 6th February 2020
Recent legal proceedings involving artists and art institutions have attracted large amounts of media attention to art law. This is partly due to the high-profile cases and the substantial sums of money circulating in a poorly-regulated market. As a result of these factors, specialising in art law could prove to be an entertaining yet intellectually stimulating career path.
What is art law?
This area of law involves the resolution of disputes and legal problems in the context of art and the wider art industry. Depending on how you wish to define art, cases could involve working directly with artists and cultural institutions, to musicians, content creators and government bodies.
