On Friday, February 21, the Kernochan Center hosted the 2025 Art Law Symposium — The New Deal in Art: Structuring Agreements for a Billion-Dollar Industry, bringing together artists, collectors, dealers, museum administrators and attorneys to discuss how contracts, once shied away from, are now not only more prevalent but evolving to adapt to a changing art market. The Symposium was an examination of what stakeholders are looking for in these documents, and how (and if) legal agreements are a solution in an industry adapting to the new ways art is created, bought, and sold.
The Symposium was recorded, and the video will be made available shortly.
