I am delighted to announce that the New York chapter of the Responsible Art Market Initiative and Christie’s have organized an event on September 25, 2025, at Rockefeller Center: “Mitigating Risk in an Uncertain World.” Co-chair Birgit Kurtz and I will offer opening and closing remarks to table-set for a fantastic panel, and to look ahead to RAM’s 10^th Annual Conference in Geneva in January (more to come on that soon).

Responsible Art Market Initiative (New York) to Hold Webinar Series on Money Laundering and Corporate Transparency

Posted by Nicholas O'Donnell on October 21, 2020 at 4:09 PM

Longtime readers of the Art Law Report will know of the remarkable success over the last several years of the Responsible Art Market Initiative in Geneva. RAM began initially in connection with a collaboration by the Art Law Centre at the University of Geneva and the Art Law Foundation (Fondation pour le droit de d’art), also in Geneva. RAM has held annual events in Geneva at artgeneve for several years. Indeed, the RAM event this past January was one of the last times I was able to visit Europe before the world shut down.
