SOLD OUT – Collecting Art – What You Need To Know

Tue, 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM Bryant Park Corporation
General PublicArts & Culture

Description

Be a smart art collector – don’t make easily avoided errors and put your art investments or yourself at risk. Join us for a tour-de-force presentation by famed art law expert & co-author of the definitive legal text in the field, Susan Duke Biederman.

Speaking exclusively from the vantage point of the interests of the collector, Susan Duke Biederman will explore the players in the marketplaces of fine artworks and rare objects, how they interact in the ownership and trading of art, and what legal, business and financial pitfalls might be avoided.

Susan will discuss and provide guidance on authenticity and title, the advantages of private vs. public sales, the wisdom of foreign vs. domestic sales, and the use and worth of art advisors. She will also discuss the (sometimes startling) role of the artist, atelier, heirs and patron, the crucial role of the catalogue raisonne and experts, and whether dealers, galleries and auction houses can continue to play a relevant role in today’s art economy.

Of particular timely interest will be a discussion concerning the safeguarding of a collection, including security, insurance, warehousing and restoration, as well as the safeguarding of the collector, including international treaties, criminality and security.

The planning and execution of gifts and loans to museums, the issues relating to joint and partial ownership interests, and the key points of prenuptial, trust and testamentary documents, and their enforceability (particularly post-Barnes), will be addressed. And last but certainly not least, the tax man!

Taught largely by (regrettably true) anecdotes, this talk is appropriate for all who collect, be it as individual, corporate or not-for-profit; a question and answer session will follow.

Note: Entrance to 5 Bryant Park is on 41st Street between 6th and Broadway – NOT on 6th Ave.

Please note that no refunds will be issued.
