Glamorous clients, undisclosed terms, expensive transactions, and slippery valuations are all part of being an art advisor. But when does savvy art market dealmaking go from fabulous to fraudulent? Where is the line between shrewd business and dishonest behavior? Several recent legal tussles in the news involving auction houses, art advisors, billionaires, priceless art, and a lot of lawyers, exposed the seedier side of the art world, but also shined a light on some of its most secretive and prevalent business practices. What do art world players and lawyers need to look out for, and what rules apply?
Join us for drinks and a lively conversation with Phillips Los Angeles Director, Blake Koh; Senior Specialist, Head of 21st Century Art, Rebekah Bowling; and seasoned art lawyers Megan Noh (Pryor Cashman LLP) and Yayoi Shionoiri (Powerhouse Arts). Moderated by BHBA’s Art Law Section Chair, Sarah Conley Odenkirk (ArtConverge).
