Law Facing up to the Dematerialisation of the Work of Art


Text

An essay by Judith Ickowicz



“This text is an abstract of a PhD in private law submitted in 2009 at Paris 1, Panthéon-Sorbonne. We are publishing it not only because it adresses the legal understanding of the dematerialisation of the arts and immaterial artworks, but also because we think that it opens a discussion on the material status of the current forms of immaterial labour in the arts, which result in neither material nor immaterial artworks (Editors’ Note).”
