Yup, it also exists in Dutch law, although I'm uncertain if the phrasing is exactly the same. The result of it, was I think only one case where was decided in favour of the author (architect): the Erasmus bridge in Rotterdam. Someone tried to take a cutout of the bridge (the shape) and use it as a logo. That was not a permitted use according to the judges, as it was explicitely taking everything out of context. Also, a piece of art in the public space (a couch in Enschede) was used in the design of a newspaper, which was also not permitted. Apparently, it is also not permitted to make a 'compilation of all works of a single architect'.
So yeah, exceptions make life tough - but some might be acceptable if that makes the change in law more likely to actually happen.
