Megan Fox Kelly, Todd Levin and William O'Reilly on Giving Advice in the Global Art Market

As part of an international program to celebrate the gallery’s 25th Anniversary, Dickinson held a panel discussion at their New York space during Spring TEFAF. Conversation centered on the multiplicity of sources of advice in the art market and how collectors can be best served as they seek to acquire art. On the panel are Megan Fox Kelly, President of the Association of Professional Art Advisors and an advisor with a broad practice that includes helping new collectors to find their bearings in the art market and advising artist's estates and foundations on a market-facing strategy; Todd Levin, who has built noteworthy collections that have achieved verifiable market successes as well as curated his own shows at various galleries in New York, Los Angeles and Berlin; and William O'Reilly, Senior Director with Dickinson in New York where he works with collectors of Old Master through to Contemporary Art. The lively conversation explores the relationship between advisors, collectors and the art market ecosystem, and the joys and pitfalls of building a collection.
