Is art an investment? What are the tax implications of buying and selling art? Is there a tax benefit from donating art to a museum? Is an estate plan a good way to transfer art to a family member? These are just some of the questions that we’ll ask Paul N. Frimmer, a Los Angeles-based attorney and one of the most knowledgeable art tax advisors in the world, when he is interviewed by Jill Hartz, JSMA Executive Director, and Doug Park, UO’s Deputy General Counsel.

He has authored or co-authored more than 50 publications on estate planning and related areas and is a frequent speaker at national estate planning seminars and institutes, including the NYU Tax Institute, the USC Tax Institute, ALI-ABA seminars, and the USC Probate and Trust Institute.
