Exploring The Art Market Ep 8 The Right To Destroy

When you hear the words “cultural heritage” what comes to your mind? Which would the rights and obligations of owners and holders of it be? Should there be any? And in general — is it about personal ownership and hence personal decision or the society at large needs to always be taken into the equation? In today’s episode of “Exploring the art market” podcast I would like to talk about the right to destroy. P.S. The painting I mentioned — Ecce Homo (“Behold the Man”) by Elías García Martínez, dubbed Ecce Mono (“Behold the Monkey”) after the “restoration” by Cecilia Giménez — more on that, including images, here: https://www.amusingplanet.com/2017/01/ecce-homo-botched-painting-that-saved.html Previous episodes of “Exploring the art market” podcast: Episode 1 — Mediation of art-related disputes: https://soundcloud.com/user-796059586/exploring_the_art_market_ep1_mediation_and_art Episode 2 — Art market bubbles: https://soundcloud.com/user-796059586/exploring_the_art_market_ep2_art_market_bubbles Episode 3 — Value of art https://soundcloud.com/user-796059586/exploring_the_art_market_ep3_value_of_art Episode 4 — Copyright and graffiti https://soundcloud.com/user-796059586/exploring_the_art_market_ep4_copyright_and_graffiti Episode 5 — Jeff Koons https://soundcloud.com/user-796059586/exploring_the_art_market_ep5_jeff_koons Episode 6 — Appropriation art https://soundcloud.com/user-796059586/exploring_the_art_market_ep6_appropriation_art Episode 7 — Art crimes https://soundcloud.com/user-796059586/exploring_the_art_market_ep7_art_crimes All comments and suggestions for the podcast are highly welcome either in the comment section below or directly to my e-mail: maria.boicova@gmail.com.
