As part of the 2025 Basel Winter Arbitration School, Sophie Grémaud, in-house counsel at Sotheby’s, delivered a keynote on arbitration in the art market. The keynote video is now available online. It was moderated by Anna Petrig and Yarik Kryvoi. The keynote explored the distinctive features of the global art market, a vibrant and highly international sector valued at approximately USD 65 billion in 2023. Sophie Grémaud, a seasoned international dispute resolution lawyer, provided a comprehensive overview of the legal challenges that arise in this dynamic industry. Topics included the complexities of authenticity disputes, provenance issues, and cultural heritage concerns, among others. Drawing on notable cases like Maria Altmann’s restitution claim for Nazi-looted Klimt paintings, the Knoedler forgery scandal, and disputes over works like Salvator Mundi, the lecture illustrated how arbitration could provide a confidential, efficient, and specialized forum for resolving such conflicts. By examining real-world examples, the keynote highlighted arbitration’s potential to address the complexities of cross-border claims, balance public interest with confidentiality, and foster innovative solutions in the evolving legal landscape of the art world. Additionally, Sophie delved into the various initiatives aimed at promoting arbitration within the industry, such as the Court of Arbitration for Art, where she is listed as an arbitrator. The keynote also touched on broader trends and the future of dispute resolution in the art market, considering the impact of technological advancements and globalization. Sophie Grémaud is in-house counsel at Sotheby’s, formerly a Counsel at Clyde & Co in Paris and currently Vice-President of Arias France, the arbitration institution specialised in insurance and reinsurance disputes. https://lnkd.in/eyeMJsbw #arbitrationlab #bwas #basel #art #arbitration
