Jonathan Chernow’s lecture, “But is it real? Addressing fakes and forgeries in the art market from an insurance coverage and risk management perspective,” addressed recent scandals in the news; how to spot forgeries and fakes before they are insured or sold; making amends to a customer or buyer saddled with a fake or forgery; managing the risk at the point of underwriting; the potential impact on claims; and when to resort to litigation.
Following the lecture there was a networking event, jointly hosted by Mound Cotton and McLarens, in the Jin Bo Law rooftop bar of the Dorsett Hotel in London.
