A great seminar yesterday afternoon at Maurice Turnor Gardner in London, with a broad range of topics covered: conflicts of laws, title to ancient artefacts, vesting statutes, negligence in art appraisal, export licensing, customs warehousing, import VAT and freeports. I think it’s fair to say that our speakers covered most, if not all, of the angles on international art transactions.

Thanks to all who attended: we counted over a hundred participants. Apologies for the standing-room-only situation at the back, but that seemed to have been repaired after the break. Next time, more chairs…
