Miami Beach, FL | ArtTable’s Art Law Series, Part II | Panel Discussion & Reception at Untitled Art
December 4 | 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm
ArtTable’s Art Law Series continues this December in Miami Beach! With generous support from Private Client Select, SRI Fine Art Services, and Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP, ArtTable is thrilled to present a panel conversation at Untitled Art Miami Beach. This second program in our ArtTable’s Art Law Series will explore the role of steward and patron assumed by new and seasoned collectors upon purchasing a work of art. This conversation will cover various components of stewardship a collector will need to consider to preserve the long term integrity, safety and care of the artworks in their care alongside championing and fostering the career of each artist. This panel brings together experts from the legal, insurance, and advisory fields to cover the ethical, contractual, and financial responsibilities of collectors to the artists they work with, setting up all participants for success.
After the panel from 4:00–5:00 PM, join us for a networking reception with wine and light bites, starting at 5:00 PM in Untitled Art’s VIP Lounge. Join us on the beach as the sun sets, and connect with friends and colleagues between stops on your busy Miami calendar!
