The British Antique Dealers’ Association (BADA)

BADA brings to Cromwell Place an engaging evening discussion about the resistance to connoisseurship and why it matters.

Specialised knowledge is inherent in every profession and art dealing is no exception. However, the expertise employed by art dealers is more nuanced than other occupations, with no formal education or accreditation required. The general rise of distrust in experts, amplified by the internet and social media, has led to an increased misunderstanding of the position of the art dealer in the art ecosystem and the value of their connoisseurship.

This panel seeks to clarify the crucial role of the art dealer and how their expertise underpins the market.

Moderator:

Ashley Gallant, BADA
