Abstract

This article seeks to introduce a brief description of the rules of protection of cultural heritage goods in the Spanish Law, using the example of a mediatic case of illicit trade, where the regulations of civil law, criminal law, and administrative law were applied and where the freedoms inherent in the right of ownership collided with the rules on properties of cultural interest. First, it provides an overview of the Spanish cultural heritage law, beginning with the constitutional mandate of assuming and promoting the protection of Spanish cultural heritage, and thereafter focusing on the concept of private ownership and its limits, in accordance with the social function of all property rights under the 1978 Spanish Constitution. Second, it describes a well-known case of illicit trade, focused on a valuable painting by Pablo Picasso. The work Cabeza de mujer joven (Head of a young woman) belonged to a private owner who decided to sell it internationally, using the services of a well-known auction house. When the required permission for exportation was denied by the Spanish public administration, the owner commenced a court proceeding aimed at changing the decision, but also planned to send the painting abroad using a yacht on his property. Thirdly, the article’s conclusion reflects on the level of severity of the Spanish legislation as applied in the case, in the context of the balance between cultural heritage protection and the freedom of disposition inherent to the right of property ownership.
西班牙法律规定的文物非法贸易:少女卡贝萨案
本文试图以一起非法交易的中间案件为例,简要介绍西班牙法律中的文化遗产保护规 则,在这起案件中,民法、刑法和行政法的规定都得到了适用,所有权所固有的自由与文化 利益财产的规则发生了冲突。首先,它概述了西班牙文化遗产法,从承担和促进保护西班牙文化遗产的宪法任务开始,然后根据 1978 年《西班牙宪法》规定的所有财产权的社会功能,重点介绍了私人所有权的概念及其限制。其次,它描述了一个著名的非法交易案例,重点是巴勃罗-毕加索(Pablo Picasso)的一幅珍贵画作。Cabeza de mujer joven》(《年轻女子的头》)属于一位私人所有者,他决定利用一家著名拍卖行的服务在国际上出售这幅作品。当西班牙公共行政部门拒绝给予出口许可时,画作所有者向法院提起诉讼,希望改变这一决定,但他也计划利用自己财产中的一艘游艇将画作运往国外。第三,文章的结论从文化遗产保护与财产所有权固有的处置自由之间的平衡角度,反 思了本案中适用的西班牙法律的严厉程度。
