Amid uncertainty over Trump’s tariffs, many collectors pause purchases while others ‘hold their noses and pay’

US President Donald Trump's proposed tariff regime for around 60 countries has created uncertainty in the art and antiques markets. Dealers and collectors are grappling with questions about whether art, antiques, and decorative objects are exempt, and how import duties might affect pricing and attendance at US art fairs. Margo Thoma of Tai Modern in Santa Fe reports that a 24% tariff on Japanese goods would likely have prevented two out of four recent sales. Steven J. Chait of Ralph M. Chait Galleries notes that while top-tier collectors may accept higher prices for extraordinary objects, the middle market may balk. Art adviser Todd Levin warns that newer, younger collectors could be most affected, and dealer Eric Zetterquist has canceled his spring buying trip to Asia due to economic uncertainty.

fita campaign group threatens leicester university trans inclusive museum guidelines

A campaign group called Freedom in the Arts (FITA) has threatened to sue the University of Leicester in the UK over its “Trans-Inclusive Culture” guidelines for museums and galleries, demanding their removal. The guidelines, published two years ago by the university’s Research Center for Museums and Galleries (RCMG), aim to help cultural institutions create inclusive spaces for transgender people. FITA, co-founded by choreographer Rosie Kay and former Arts Council England staffer Denise Fahmy, argues the guidance misrepresents the legal definition of “sex” under the Equality Act 2010, following a UK Supreme Court ruling that “woman” and “sex” refer only to biological women and biological sex. The group claims the guidelines could encourage unlawful policies, such as allowing toilet access based on gender identity, and discriminate against staff with gender-critical beliefs.
