Exclusive Collector Forum 2019

What to look for when buying a work of art?

For every collector, there are pertinent questions that you always ask yourself when deciding to buy any art piece or antiquity: “How can I be sure that it is not a fake?” “How can I be sure that it has not been stolen or illegally exported? In case of problems, how can I prove that I had honest intentions when buying it?” “How can I be confident that I am an ethical buyer?”

The River City Bangkok and UNESCO, with support from Thai National Commission for UNESCO, invited art collectors and dealers to find answer to these questions at the very first Exclusive Collector Forum. The audience met international experts from Thailand and Europe who will share insights on private laws, world-class auction business and modern tools used to help them be confident with your purchase.
