Arthur Byng Nelson, Head of Art and Heritage at Sherrards Solicitors attends The Art Business Conference at TEFAF Maastricht.

In early March, Arthur Byng Nelson, Sherrards’ Head of Art & Heritage, attended TEFAF in Maastricht the leading art and antiques fair in Europe, as part of the At Business Conference.

Founded in 2014, The Art Business Conference is a leading global platform delving into pivotal topics within the contemporary art market. These one-day conferences attract senior art professionals, providing invaluable knowledge and insight for individuals involved in managing art businesses or collections.

Arthur advises clients on strategy, law and tax on all matters relating to collectibles. TEFAF is the fair to attend if you are looking to purchase museum-quality items: for example a painting by Guercino (1599-1666) see below of St. Sebastian, an ancient Egyptian relic or some highly unusual (and expensive!) jewellery. If you ever would like to attend he would be pleased to see what he can do for you.

Arthur also enjoyed the half-day Art Business Conference and made new contacts at museums in France and Belgium, as well as with a number of collectors and dealers.

See here Arthur with some of his fellow members of PAIAM (Professional Advisors to the International Art Market) and some photographs he took of works on his wishlist.
