Art Theft and Due Diligence
Sharon Flescher, IFAR Executive Director, New York
While the legal issues surrounding art theft and due diligence may, on the surface, seem straightforward, that is not necessarily the case. Statutes of limitations, for example, vary by jurisdiction, and there is no clear legal definition of what constitutes diligence, let alone “due” diligence, for either the theft victim or purchaser. This talk will elucidate these issues by drawing on several legal cases in which art theft, due diligence and good faith purchasers played a role. Learning objectives include gaining an understanding of:
- How the statute of limitations regarding art theft varies by jurisdiction, and in what way Common Law and Civil Law countries differ regarding legal title to stolen art
- Why the concept of due diligence is not clearly defined
- How the case law regaring art theft has differed in its treatment of "good faith" purchasers
11:30 a.m.—12:15 p.m.
How To Talk to the Media
Lisa Schaumann, Bendure Communications
This session will describe how ASA works with the media—pitching stories, doing crisis communications, and dealing with ethics issues—and how media relations can be used to benefit your business.

- ASA's successful personal property media relations program

- How to get media coverage for your business
