PPR: Navigating Legal Art Frameworks in the Thai Art Market

Bangkok, 29 January 2026 – The Thai-Italian Chamber of Commerce (TICC), in collaboration with ILCT Co., Ltd. (International Legal Counsellors Thailand), hosted an insightful seminar on the latest legal, tax, and market developments in Thailand’s art sector. The event brought together art professionals, collectors, and industry stakeholders for a valuable exchange of expertise and perspectives.

The seminar opened with a legal segment led by ILCT, featuring Puttaruksa Pisansrisomsuk, Associate – General Practice at ILCT, a legal professional with a strong academic background and extensive expertise in mergers and acquisitions, alongside Ginevra Guasti of ILCT’s Business Development Team, who specializes in art law and contemporary art markets. Together, they offered an in-depth overview of current and emerging regulations affecting the art world.

Discussions covered laws governing art transactions and ownership, tax obligations related to the sale, import, export, and holding of artworks, as well as compliance considerations for galleries, collectors, and art-related businesses. Particular attention was given to cross-border transactions and how recent legal developments may influence cost structures, reporting requirements, and strategic planning within the Thai art market.

The second part of the seminar featured Art Curator Camilla Russell, who shared a cultural and market-oriented perspective on Thailand’s contemporary art scene. Her presentation explored the evolution of Thailand’s art ecosystem, its growing international visibility, emerging artistic and curatorial trends, and the role of galleries, collectors, and institutions in shaping the market.

By combining legal expertise with curatorial insight, the seminar provided participants with a well-rounded understanding of both regulatory considerations and market trends influencing Thailand’s art world today.

The evening concluded with a networking reception featuring pizza from our sponsor, Massilia Pizza, and beverages from Singha, allowing guests to continue discussions and build valuable connections in a relaxed setting.
