The six-week course is written and presented by legal academic Vittoria Mastrandrea (Christie’s, Christie’s Education).

Understanding the law as it affects the art industry is vital for those looking to enter the profession as a career and for those looking to expand their careers within the art world in business, specialist, and legal roles. The course covers contract law and anti-money laundering procedures, copyright, export regulations, authenticity and forgery, restitution and repatriation, and issues involved in museums and deaccessioning.
