SGS Joins Deloitte’s US Art & Finance Conference in New York City

Yan Walther, Managing Director of SGS Art Service’s, contributed to a panel discussion entitled, “Data, Analytics and Building Trust in the Art Market” at Deloitte’s 2nd US Art & Finance Conference on March 2, 2017.

This year, the conference, which is aimed primarily at lawyers, bankers and other investors, focused on transformation and innovation in the art market. Subtitled ‘A Portrait in Transformation’, each discussion panel brought together leading figures from the art and financial industries to consider the ways in which recent developments are helping to bring transparency and trust back into the art world.

As global experts in art analysis and condition reporting, SGS leads the field in providing independent and transparent data to investors and collectors. Independent analysis of a potential acquisition, providing data on authenticity and condition, gives the investor an objective understanding of what they are acquiring. Independent condition reporting should be part of any investor’s due diligence before considering a purchase in the art world.

Yan Walther joined a panel which included: Laura Patten from Deloitte Advisory Services LLP; Andrea Danese, CEO and President, Athena; Christopher E. Vroom, CFA, Founder and CEO, CollectorIQ; and Benjamin Genocchio, Executive Director, The Armory Show.

Deloitte’s US Art & Finance Conference took place during The Armory Show, New York’s premier art fair.
