Art Crime and Cultural Heritage: Fakes, Forgeries and Looted and Stolen Art
William Charron will speak at “Art Crime and Cultural Heritage: Fakes, Forgeries and Looted and Stolen Art,” a three-day symposium held at NYU, on the panel, “The Fight Against Fakes.” According to the U.S. Department of Justice, art crime is the third-largest criminal enterprise in the world. The increase in international art transactions has incubated a booming market for stolen and fraudulent art. To address the enormity of this global trend, the NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies (NYU-SCPS) will present this three-day symposium.
The panel also includes Spencer Tomkins, Spencer Tomkins Fine Art Inc. and Eleonora Nagy, Conservator, Modern and Contemporary Sculpture; Director, Modern Sculpture Conservation LLC, New York; Conservator, three-dimensional works of art, Whitney Museum of American Art; Advisory Committee for Conservation and Restoration (ACCR) and Judd Foundation.
