Coronavirus and Art Legal Matters

Mar 20, 2020

People around the globe have been adversely affected by the Coronavirus; in the most extreme cases, it has led to death and serious illness. For businesses around the world, it has also been a difficult time. Events have been cancelled, transactions have been delayed, meetings have halted, and routines have been disrupted. Amineddoleh & Associates has transitioned to remote work during this difficult period. However, we are taking this time to share our art law expertise with blog posts and other online outreach efforts.

Last month, our founder presented a sold-out lecture, “The Importance of Provenance in Legal Matters and Ownership Disputes,” at the Frick Collection. The event was featured in Artnet’s Editors’ Picks as “12 Things Not to Miss in New York’s Art World This Week.” After February’s successful presentation, Leila was slated to speak at Maastricht University earlier this week at a conference planned in conjunction with TEFAF (The European Fine Art Fair). The preeminent fair closed early, and the university postponed the conference. It was unfortunate, but it was the best decision to protect public health and safety. Leila was also scheduled to speak at the American Bar Association’s Section of International Law Annual Meeting next month, but that event was cancelled. That conference is attended by thousands of attorneys from around the world, so the cancellation was quite disappointing. In light of these events, Leila will be authoring a number of posts that address the topics she planned to discuss at these venues. The other attorneys at the firm will also be contributing to our online posts.  

Please visit our website in the coming days to access information about art crime and law matters. We are pleased to share this information with people around the world as the trade in art continues during this period. In the meantime, we wish the best of health to our friends and colleagues.
