Dean Nisipper (00:07): Hello, I'm Dean nisipper. I'm here with Kim almazon and Lauren Bursey and we are part of the withers art dispute resolution team after the busy year. We saw in 2018. We would like to highlight for you some of the things we expect to see on the horizon this year. Last year, the repatriation of Antiquities was a major issue. For example in New York, the Manhattan district attorney established an entire unit devoted entirely to investigating potentially looted antiquities. That unit was very busy investigating art in the hands of prominent museums and collectors. We expect to see more investigations this year.This is the time of year to focus on what’s happened in the art market in 2018 and look at the opportunities to come this year.
Diana Wierbicki, Sarah Verano and Amanda Rottermund, members of the Transactional and Tax team of Withers’ art law group, discuss the changes in art related legal issues over 2018, and what to keep an eye out for in 2019.
