The Foundation has made supporting and incentivising rigorous, innovative legal studies in the field of art one of its goals. In pursuit of that objective the Foundation has set up the following projects:
The Rodrigo Uría Meruéndano Art Law Award reflects the Foundation’s ongoing support and promotion of innovative legal studies regarding the art world. These include legal studies on artists, works and the dissemination of cultural assets that are a source of knowledge, vehicle for cultural exchange, medium for the expression of ideas and an invitation to aesthetic appreciation.
The accolade is also in memory of the illustrious lawyer and patron of the arts, Rodrigo Uría Meruéndano, former Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Prado Museum (2004-2007) and first Chairman of the Professor Uría Foundation.
