Tom Christopherson, appointed chairman of the British Art Market Federation (BAMF), aims to enhance arts education and foster legislative scrutiny. He replaces Martin Wilson, who left after six months for Phillips. Christopherson emphasizes the interconnectedness of arts institutions and the necessity of an education system that supports arts learning for future opportunities. He notes a positive shift in governmental attitudes towards arts education and intends to leverage this change, while also addressing trade matters such as VAT reduction on art sales.
"What's very clear through my experience with the Arts Scholars Company and the Arts Scholars Trust is that museums, institutions, collectors and everything else are so closely interlinked, and everything flows from the key point of education."
"It's all about creating that pipeline. BAMF is becoming more and more focused on education, and we think the government is very interested in these areas, looking at things like the excellent apprenticeship schemes."
