A leading US culture lawyer has testified at Washington, DC trade hearings about how a Chinese art import tariff would have a negative effect on small US businesses, writes Noelle McElhatton.
Peter Tompa, head of the Global Heritage Alliance, represented the art market at a hearing on August 22.
He was among the 350-plus ‘witnesses’ from various industries arguing against a 25% tariff proposed by the Trump administration as part of a trade war with China (ATG No 2355).
