Renata Kaminker – Fine Art Solutions returns as a guest lecturer to Sotheby’s Institute of Art

It was an honour to have been, once more, invited to Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London as a guest lecturer for the MA in Art Logistics.

 Speaking to a room full of students on issues regarding the ethics and legalities of conservation and restoration as well as introducing them to the dynamics of restitution of cultural goods proved as enriching as always, the questions and ensuing discussions leading to new thought processes around these two important issues.

 Over the course of two and half hours we covered legal and normative frameworks, case studies, the definitions of what a conservator is and the responsibilities involved in this role, the differences between restitution, repatriation, and return, and many other subjects.

 As always, it was a great pleasure being involved in the MA, interacting with the students, and seeing thefuture generation of art market professionals.
