Lecture Summary — “Navigating Insurance in the Art Market”
At Sotheby’s Institute of Art, I delivered a lecture titled “Navigating Insurance in the Art Market,” exploring the vital role of insurance as a cornerstone of risk management in the global art ecosystem. The session examined how collectors, galleries, and institutions can protect art assets against evolving risks, from transit and exhibition exposures to title disputes and market volatility.
