Our objective is to represent and promote the responsible trade in the art market.
Our primary focus is cultural conservation and the trade's role in protecting the history and heritage of mankind from what is often well meaning, but over-zealous, legislation that mandates both unrealistic curbs and, at times, leads to the actual destruction of cultural artifacts.
