For those with an interest in art law, I will be speaking at a panel on March 9 at The Armory Show 2012.  Christie’sFine Art Storage Services (CFASS) presents The Complexities Surrounding Authentication.

 With the recent disbanding of high-profile authentication committees, the market is forced to react.  This panel explores the process of authentication, both from a scientific and emperical perspective, and why authentication has become such a litigious topic that often results in committee termination.

Panelists include:

-Dr. Magdalena Dabrowski,  Independent Scholar/Curator and Art Consultant.

-Raymond Dowd, Partner, Dunnington, Bartholow & Miller LLP

-Dorit Strauss, Vice President, Worldwide Specialty Fine Art Manager, Chubb Group of Insurance

Companies

-Jennifer L. Mass, Ph.D. Senior Scientist, Winterthur Museum

Moderated by Joseph Stasko, International Managing Director, Christie’s Fine Art StorageServices.

Friday, March 9^th, 2012, 3:30pm.
