Arts throwing down the gauntlet to law: legal consequences of one artistic event

Publication at Faculty of Law |
2017

Abstract

The article - based on the academic debate which took place early in the Faculty of Law of Charles University - examines the relationship of law and the (visual) arts. First of all, it draws attention to the (legal) ambiguity of the concept of arts.

Secondly, it points out a possible conception of constitutional protection of artistic productions (autonomous comprehensive protection vs. special protection under the protection of freedom of expression) and the impact that the constitutional protection could have on legal practice. The main purpose of the article is to call for further development of the topic presented.
