RAM’s Fourth Annual Conference (Geneva, 31 January 2020)

31.01.2020

We are delighted to invite you to the fourth Responsible Art Market Initiative conference on Friday, 31 January 2020 in Geneva, Switzerland:

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.

New this year: the conference will be followed by a lunch.
