Giulia Walter is a lawyer based in Zurich, Switzerland. She studied law at the universities of Lucerne, Geneva and Vienna and obtained a PhD at the University of Zurich. Specializing in art law and intellectual property law, she strives to adopt an interdisciplinary approach bridging between the disciplines of law, (legal) sociology and art theory. In her work, she has in particular engaged with Niklas Luhmann’s systems theory, which allows an accurate description of the interactions of different autonomous social systems (such as art and law) by preserving their differences and analyzing their reciprocal expectations.
