This colloquium aims to discuss good practices in the art market and the challenge ethical standards and values represent when applying to a proper professional performance. The global art market is often associated with the lack of transparency in its mechanisms. Tax optimization, fraud, money laundering, traffic of cultural property, speculation, opacity, not to mention inequality, unprofessionalism, or precariousness among artists, are usual labels to refer to the art system. It is, however, consensual that there is a strong corpus of legislation to support the art business, and that it is crucial to promote ethical behavior in the exercise of the profession.
We will discuss legal challenges, measures art professionals and policy makers are implementing, problematic situations that require ethical behavior in order to navigate the art market waters, serving as a guide and a model to ensure the protection of dealers, artists and independent professionals. We will explore good practices in the art market, their effect, their application, their shortcomings and their drawbacks. Bringing examples of codes of ethics, discussions, and related situations in countries such as Spain, Portugal, other European countries, Brazil, and USA, compared to other examples in Latin America, in African and Asian countries, and other regions, this colloquium aims to explore differences and similarities of approach in different regions of the world.
