31 January 2020 | Responsible Art Market - An Art Market in Evolution
An Art Market in Evolution chaired by François Curiel, renowned and experienced auctioneer and Christie’s chairman of Europe, RAM’s fourth conference will focus on the authentication of works of art with the launch of RAM’s Guidelines for Experts Authenticating Works of Fine Art and a series of related country guides. Illustrated by case studies, this seminar will discuss the issues which arise when conducting art expertise and highlight its importance, as well as the challenges and limits of conducting and relying such an expertise. Seasoned experts and professionals will share their insights and experience to understand an authentication’s value and its implications for the art market.
With implementation of the 5th European Anti-Money Laundering Directive requiring art businesses to conduct anti-money laundering measures, a panel of experts will compare the situation in the United Kingdom, France and Switzerland and consider what it means for art businesses in practice.
