What are the reasons for criminal activity in the art market? Is art crime on the increase? Are cases ever solved? The belief that the art market’s opaque and unregulated practices are indirectly to blame for art crime is gaining ground. Is this so? In her talk Riah Pryor will consider these questions in the context of some examples of art crime.
Now Head of Content and Programmes at The Cheltenham Trust, Riah Pryor was previously an investigative journalist specialising in the relationship between art and the law, and her book Crime and the Art Market was published last year. She previously worked at New Scotland Yard’s Art and Antiques Unit, where she was a criminal researcher on numerous high profile cases.
The buffet lunch is available from 12 noon. The talk will start at 1.15pm and finish by 2.15 pm. The cost including lunch is £15.00; for the talk only, it’s £8.00
