Episode 68 of ‘All About Art’: Looted? Missing? Authentic? Why Art Provenance Research Matters with Angelina Giovani

In this episode, I sat down with Angelina Giovani, art historian and provenance researcher based in London, and the co-founder of Flynn & Giovani Art Provenance Research with Dr. Tom Flynn. In 2023 she launched the Art Market Academy, a dedicated online environment offering online courses in provenance research and due diligence, now subtitled in over 15 languages.

Listen on to hear me ask Angelina about what provenance research entails, along with whose responsibility it is to ensure due diligence is conducted and the research is done. We chat about emerging technologies and how this is changing the landscape of provenance research, along with the practicalities of the process of research, how collectors can mitigate and assess the risk of selling works or knowing when deeper research is needed, and more.

Thank you Angelina for coming on the podcast!
