Are brick and mortar art galleries the loss leaders in an art world potentially spiraling beyond viable limits? More than ninety art fairs now define the rhythm of globalized art business. This development has profoundly altered the relationships of artists, gallerists, and collectors.
The
Entertainment, Arts and Sports Law Section of the
New York State Bar Association is holding a panel on the
impacts and challenges – legal, ethical and business – of the rise of art fairs. This program is part of an initiative to create dialogue amongst lawyers and emerging and established art professionals working in the primary or secondary markets.
Gallerist
Elizabeth Dee will report on the chances and risks that the art fairs impose, in light of the ambitious expansion that her gallery has recently embraced and her perspective as Co-Founder of the art fair, Independent, New York.
Attorney
Richard M. Lehun of Stropheus Art Law will examine the plethora of ethical and business issues that art fair participants confront.
Attorney
Nicholas M. O'Donnell, a litigation partner at Sullivan & Worcester LLP, will present on the legal issues that art fairs carry with them.
Gallerist
Edward Winkleman will offer an overview of the research he is conducting on art fairs in preparation for his upcoming book "Selling Contemporary Art: How to Navigate the Evolving Market" (Allworth Press).
The panel will be moderated by attorney, educator, mediator, and arbitrator
Judith B. Prowda, Faculty at Sotheby’s Institute of Art and author of Visual Arts and the Law: A Handbook for Professionals (Lund Humphries 2013).
