The turn of the year was particularly busy for the lawyers of KIEŁTYKA GŁADKOWSKI KG LEGAL. Our team has been trusted by representatives of top law firms and global business corporations. Since the profile of the law firm is a result of experience, we would like to present flagship cases that, like in a lens, focus the profile of our law firm specializing in cross-border cases:
1/ CROSS-BORDER TRANSACTION OF THE SALE OF THE WORK OF ART – unique transaction value
Our team dealing with cross-border matters supported with its legal services the world’s most renowned British auction house, which mediated in the sale of a handwritten document of one of the most important artists of Polish origin to a Polish cultural institute established under a separate Polish act.
KIEŁTYKA GŁADKOWSKI advised on:
– negotiation of payment security under the direct public procurement procedure and budget subsidy from the Ministry of Culture for the purchase of a work;
– representing an intermediary selling the work of art in the procedure of temporary transit of the work for auction purposes before customs authorities;
– negotiations regarding contractual obligations regarding the provenience of the work.
Poland is a country that can boast a rich history and culture, and in the world we stand out above all for two works of art that are considered to be museum objects of the “zero” class. The first is the Gothic Veit Stoss Altar in the St. Mary’s Church in Kraków, and the second is the Renaissance portrait of Leonardo da Vinci “Lady with an Ermine”. These works, although created at a similar time, constitute two different faces of art – sacred and secular – and at the same time symbols of Polish cultural heritage. My presentation today will be devoted to the exceptional Czartoryski collection which this painting is a part of. I would like to draw particular attention to the specific legal situation of this art collection, which for decades has stirred controversy both in Poland and abroad.
