Law of the market of the art WP-PR-MON-PRSz
The monographic lecture is devoted to the legal aspects of the functioning of the art market from the national, EU and international perspective. It combines the private-law perspective (contracts concluded in the art trade, protection of personal interests and copyright of artists, liability for expert appraisal, insurance of cultural property) with the public-law perspective (protection of monuments, restrictions on trade and export, museum law, restitution of cultural property, management of cultural heritage).
On completion, the student knows the legal regulation of the art market and its interdependencies, is able to apply the provisions of civil, copyright and administrative law to problems connected with trade in works of art, and to assess critically the regulation in force against European and international standards.

Assessment criteria
Form and conditions of assessment
The monographic lecture ends with an examination. The examination takes the form of a presentation prepared and delivered by the student on a topic agreed with the lecturer and falling within the scope of the lecture, combined with answers to questions on the issue presented. The final grade for the lecture results from the assessment of the examination presentation.
Knowledge and skills (EW1–EW3, EU1–EU2)
Grade 5.0 — The student demonstrates exhaustive knowledge of the entire subject matter of the lecture, freely indicates the links between the legal institutions of the art market, and assesses the regulation in force independently and critically. The presentation is exemplary, the theses well argued, the conclusions original.
Grade 4.5 — The student has extensive knowledge of the subject matter and applies it efficiently in analysing the legal problems of the art market. The presentation is of a high standard with few imperfections.
Grade 4.0 — The student has good knowledge of most of the subject matter and analyses the legal issues of the art market correctly. The presentation is substantively correct; any shortcomings are of secondary importance.
Grade 3.5 — The student has mastered the basic institutions discussed in the lecture but shows gaps in detailed issues or in understanding the links between regulations. The presentation needs supplementing.
Grade 3.0 — The student has the minimum knowledge necessary to pass. The presentation meets the minimum substantive requirements but contains significant gaps or errors.
Grade 2.0 — The student has not achieved the intended learning outcomes in knowledge and skills. The presentation does not meet the minimum substantive requirements or has not been prepared.
Social competences (EK1, EK2) – ACHIEVED / NOT ACHIEVED only
ACHIEVED — The student participates actively in the lecture, shows interest in its subject matter, deepens knowledge independently and is ready to discuss the legal and ethical dilemmas of the art market.
NOT ACHIEVED — The student shows no readiness to develop knowledge independently or to take part in discussion. Failure to achieve the social-competence outcomes may be a ground for lowering the final grade by half a grade.
