Our two-part roundtable webinar series on the future of the global art market, features guests from Hauser & Wirth, HMRC, Demif Gallery and The Society of London Art Dealers.

Presented by Gareth Fletcher of Sotheby’s Institute of Art, the series explores change and transformation in the art market, from new technologies, ways of viewing and buying art, and market supervision, to digital art crime, the rise of African artists, and the illicit trade in art and antiquities.

In Part 2, Regulation and Risk, Alan Patrick from HMRC and Sarah Allen from Hauser & Wirth discuss the emerging landscape of art market regulation in the UK and globally and new areas of risk around digital art crime, cryptocurrencies, and the illicit trade in art and antiquities.
