Anthony Meyer, Galerie Meyer Oceanic & Eskimo Art, Paris
In the face of a flourishing art market, the antiquities market presents unique challenges. The increased demand for works of art demonstrates the development of the market but requires vigilance against illicit transactions in cultural goods. The many stakeholders often face uncertainty regarding the information available about objects and how to proceed. Yet these same stakeholders play an essential role in the fight against the illegal market, mainly by applying due diligence. In this session, experts will discuss how they applied and adapted “RAM’s Due Diligence Toolkit” to address the unique nature of transactions in antiquities.

Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is revolutionising our world. In this fast paced session we take a practical focus, examining what AI is and how it is being used in the art market.
