Last night, I had the pleasure of participating in the panel discussion, "The Strategic Collector: Art, Tax, and Philanthropy" in Washington, DC with esteemed colleagues, Channah Norman, Co-Chair of Art Law Practice at Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P.; Ken Spruill, Director of Family Legacy & Wealth Education at Glenmede; and our outstanding moderator Mark R. Parthemer, Chief Weath Strategist at Glenmede.
Our conversation covered a range of topics including family legacy, philanthropy, and succession; the circumstances that cause the need for appraisals; USPAP and IRS provisions; authenticity and provenance matters, including relevant case law, and much more. We had a lively conversation not only among us, but with an engaged, inquisitive audience of leaders from the arts and business communities.
Although I would love to share photos from the night, there simply are none to be seen, as the club is a phone-free, photo-free environment. As someone who is often fairly well glued to my phone, I surprised myself to realize how refreshing it was to have a moment to be briefly fully present, engaging fully with those in the room.
