Elisabetta Lazzaro, Nathalie Moureau and Adriana Turpin, London: Routledge, 2026) TIAMSA Live Book Discussion: Finance in International Art Markets: Tools for the Future (eds. Elisabetta Lazzaro, Nathalie Moureau and Adriana Turpin, London: Routledge, 2026) June 4, 2026 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm TIAMSA is pleased to announce its 23rd book discussion: Law and Finance in International Art Markets: Tools for the Future (Routledge, 2026). Eds. Elisabetta Lazzaro, Nathalie Moureau and Adriana Turpin will discuss their new book with Filip Vermeylen.The event will be moderated by Véronique Chagnon-Burke (Chair-TIAMSA and Co-Founder of Women Art Dealers Digital Archives). In the book Law and Finance in International Art Markets: Tools for the Future (eds. Elisabetta Lazzaro, Nathalie Moureau and Adriana Turpin, London: Routledge, 2026), we explore two key factors that contribute to the social construction of the art market: the legal frameworks that underpin it and its financing structures. In keeping with the aims of the previous volume, Researching Arts Markets: Past, Present and Tools for the Future (eds. Elisabetta Lazzaro, Nathalie Moureau and Adriana Turpin, London: Routledge, 2021), the essays in this collection highlight the connections between historical and contemporary practices through a multidisciplinary perspective. They aim to show how many of the legal and financial structures shaping today’s art market reflect historical precedents.The book, an initiative of Researching Art Markets Past & Present: Tools for the Future (RAM-T), brings together scholars from a wide range of disciplines to examine the legal and financial structures of art markets, both past and present, across the globe. The chapters draw on perspectives from the humanities and social sciences, employing diverse methods to analyse the creation, demand, dissemination, evaluation, and protection of art in an increasingly globalised environment.Overall, this volume offers a valuable resource for understanding art markets within their broader context. It will be of interest to scholars researching the legal and financial dimensions of the cultural and creative industries in general, and of international art markets in particular, as well as to art market professionals.

22	23	24 Institute of Art and Law Immunity from seizure short course Institute of Art and Law Immunity from seizure short course June 24, 2026 7:00 am - 9:00 am Online The Institute of Art and Law is pleased to announce the return of its short course on immunity from seizure for museums, private lenders and others interested in this area. Museums in the UK and around the world are frequently faced with questions and challenges around the immunity from seizure of cultural objects on loan. The UK and more than 20 other jurisdictions have specific procedures in place to ensure such protection. On 24th June, we will be offering a new short course that will cover the ins-and-outs of the UK system, while also considering approaches and case studies from around the world. Whether you work for a UK museum or an international institution, or if you are a frequent overseas lender of art, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to investigate the issues and procedures that underlie the system. Professor Norman Palmer called immunity from seizure a ‘robust weapon’ that was ‘sometimes controversial’ – and we will find out exactly why. Register here. See more details •	25	26	27	28
