The fact of the matter is that doing business in the art world is far more regulated than most areas of life and commerce. However, there are a few inter-linked takeaways from the Philbrick episode that are worth bearing in mind. https://t.co/khNoLelEO9

FWIW, I completely agree with @RobertDiament’s comment - I have learned more from working with artists than they have ever got from me.

A very nice surprise to be listening to one of my favourite artists Fani Parali on the @Talkart podcast and to hear my name come up in conversation, prompted by @russelltovey’s question on how performance art is bought and sold. https://t.co/mD47n7QIBs

Pleased to have some new Green MPs but I am sad that it came at the expense of @ThangamDebb, who has been a real source of hope and optimism as shadow culture secretary over the last year.

Many thanks to everyone who supported @yilinwriter’s case last year.
2023 vs. 2024 It's been exactly one year since I fought the British Museum for using my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry without permission. Thank you for being here to witness this wild ride. https://t.co/uTOfmfxII6

It’s only a matter of time until the FCA takes an interest in some of the various galleries offering art “investment” opportunities that have proliferated in the UK in the last few years. 2/2

It was good to talk with Anny Shaw and Massimo Sterpi about this recent regulatory enforcement action in Italy. Here’s the link to the text (in Italian) of the resolution published by Consob (Italy’s equivalent of the FCA): https://t.co/lRKrtlIG89 1/2

Italy's financial authority has suspended an offer by Art Invest Srl, a company promising a guaranteed 6.8% increase on art investments over 18 months. The move reflects growing scrutiny as galleries globally pitch art as a viable investment https://t.co/5aPArZDmsQ

Many thanks indeed to @sigrunda for this fascinating story of post-colonial restitution for the Art Lawyers Association

Have you heard the one about the former colonial power returning precious cultural treasures to its erstwhile colony, with pragmatism and politics winning the day over legalistic red lines? As with...

Hirst is entitled to use dates however he wants… provided buyers are not misled either by unexplained unconventional usage and/or by promotional material containing inaccurate statements.
Out now - Damien Hirst said he had made his Currency paintings in 2016, we found at least a thousand were made years later... https://t.co/HwlMN0slrF

Enjoying a Sunday reading new arrivals in the sun and I am very moved by @yilinwriter’s letter across the centuries to Qiu Jin - these are the last two pages, in which Yilin describes her tussle with the @britishmuseum to defend both her and Qiu Jin’s honour. 1/2

In a promotional video, the reality star said her office furniture was designed by Judd, the minimalist artist. His foundation says otherwise in a new lawsuit.
