Expert Meeting Provenance and Compliance for Art and Collectibles

Professor of Art Law Lars van Vliet will host the Expert Meeting Provenance and Compliance for Art and Collectibles during the TEFAF European Fine Art Fair on 28 June. The event will take place at the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht. It's part of the activities of MACCH (Maastricht Centre for Arts and Culture, Conservation and Heritage) and supported by the Stichting Waarborg Kunstregistratie.

Reliable information about the provenance of cultural goods has become more important, and all actors in the art world are expected to adhere to a form of compliance that has long been customary in other sectors.

The question arises whether legally documented information can lead to a uniform and safe way of registering provenance information. MACCH (Maastricht Centre for Arts and Culture, Conservation and Heritage) investigates initiatives in which the existence of an object is verified by an independent person, in which the available provenance documents are linked to this object in a secure way, and in which the information is stored and made accessible in a secure way.

In order to register for the expert meeting, please send an email to Ms. Talitha Wilmsen
at macch@maastrichtuniversity.nl. For questions about the content of the expert
meeting, you can contact prof. dr. Lars van Vliet at l.vanvliet@maastrichtuniversity.nl.
