Contemporary Business Law : The Case Banksy

Abstract

The interaction between business law and art galleries is hit by the work of the English artist Banksy. This article addresses new prospects for urban artists and business law in contemporary times. This paper presents, under an interdisciplinary perspective, some areas of application of business law, especially the protection, or not, of intellectual property, in the case of urban works of art. The article presents the case Banksy and his work in the urban environment, sometimes in public property, sometimes in private buildings, and, from a historical review of the protection of intellectual property, especially in the case of protection of a work of arts, this text examines the challenges that the unusual creation of Banksy presents to contemporary business law
