A Responsible Art Market in Practice
Chaired by experienced art market journalist and author Georgina Adam, RAM’s third conference will focus on the practical aspects of a Responsible Art Market.
With insights from seasoned art market professionals and building on RAM’s Art Transaction Due Diligence Toolkit launched in 2018, a series of case studies will illustrate how ‘risk-based’ due diligence measures can help art businesses and collectors navigate challenging and complex situations.
Following adoption of the 5thEuropean Anti-Money Laundering Directive and other regulatory developments in the past year, our expert speakers will also consider what this means in practice for art businesses in Europe, Switzerland and the United States.
