ILAB SYMPOSIUM PARIS 2024
Libraries, Booksellers and Collectors discuss Provenance, Restitution and the Conservation of our Written Heritage
On 12th June 2024, ILAB, invited antiquarian booksellers, librarians, collectors and art market professionals to a one-day symposium in Paris at the Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art (INHA), part of the Bibliothèque national de France, on the now vitally important issue of provenance and security.
This symposium followed those organised around similar themes in New York (Grolier Club) in 2019 and in Oxford (Bodleian Library) in 2022 and brought together an international panel of experts to address these crucial issues & highlight some of the realities of the rare book trade.The event was organised and sponsored by ILAB with the support the French antiquarian booksellers association, Syndicat National de la Librairie Ancienne et Moderne (SLAM).
Mario Giupponi, President of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB) and Jean-Marc Dechaud, President of the Syndicat National de la Librairie Ancienne et Moderne (SLAM)
