Lectures will focus on the basic principles of expertise in sculpture, painting, drawing and graphics. They focus on their material and technique, evaluate their possible adjustment, teach the basics of chemical-technological and restoration research, explain the basics of cultural and historical research and supplement the procedures for stylistic analysis and determination of the function of the work of art. It will be important to have a specific expert work with selected works of art, on which the described methods will be rebuilt. The students will get acquainted with the forms of trade in works of art in the historical context, but also in the present, such as galleries, auctions, art fairs, etc.
