On Tuesday evening, Adam took part in a panel discussion about the current themes of collecting in contemporary art. The panel explored how to start collecting, what to ask, where to go, and key principles for buying art. The main takeaway: collect art because you love it, not just as an investment (or maybe just because you are hungry for a banana…🍌) Much attention was given to the role of the art advisor and what qualities make for a professional one: someone who’s knowledgeable, trustworthy, and understands both the market and your personal taste. Finally, the discussion underlined the need to support museums and cultural institutions in the UK. Thanks to @contemporaryartsociety for organising and to Vavara Roza for moderating and to fantastic fellow panelist’s Charlene Prempeh Roland Cowan and Robert Suss #contemporaryart  #artadvisor  #artcollector

Last Tuesday we were lucky enough to host the brilliant Angelina Giovani-Agha for our Due Diligence & Provenance Strategies event at the University Women's Club. The morning was a fascinating dive into case studies - both solved and unsolved - which illustrated useful strategies, red flags, creative thinking and sheer tenacity, ending with a useful toolkit of resources to help attendees put Angelina's extensive experience into action when faced with their own due diligence questions. A lively discussion about the challenges of provenance followed thanks to the knowledgable audience and host! An invaluable insight for our clients and contacts - thank you Angelina and thanks to Nathanael Price for introducing the event. If you would be interested in attending an event like this in the future, please message here or email [email protected] to be added to our events mailing list. Thank you to Association of Women Art Dealers (AWAD) & Association of Women in the Arts (AWITA) for publicising the event 👏 #artmarket #duediligence #goodbusiness

Fire and security protections can be key to an insurer's risk appetite. There are some great resources available for galleries and museums, such as Collections Trust website: https://lnkd.in/giEm_GBp If you are ever in doubt, drop your Hallett Independent account manager a message. #heretohelp #riskmanagement #insurancebroker #galleryinsurance #museuminsurance #heritageinsurance #artinsurance #collectionsinsurance Museum Development North

https://lnkd.in/ep6g5kR9 Hard times ahead for many museums who will be looking to fill huge funding gaps. Hallett Independent can help museums formulate a plan to reduce insurance costs. We give free advice to museums about what we think the most important areas of cover are and what you might be able to cut out or reduce. If your broker is not talking to you about this, then we can tell you the questions to be asking them about how to reduce costs. #insurancehealthcheck #museuminsurance #supportculture Hallett Independent
