Once defined by discretion, the art world now finds itself under the glare of regulatory scrutiny. Dealers must walk a careful line between client confidentiality and growing compliance demands. This panel explores how galleries are navigating often conflicting obligations between collectors and regulation — what’s changing, what’s at stake, and how these shifting rules are redefining the dealer–collector relationship.

Head of Operations, Pilar Corrias

I’m Head of Operations at Pilar Corrias, where I specialise in navigating the art world’s trickiest intersection: where exciting practice meets logistical, operational, and compliance hurdles. Over the past seven years, I’ve steered complex projects across the globe, built systems to an operational standard befitting the works we are privileged to engage with, and implemented compliance frameworks that stand up to the toughest scrutiny. As the gallery’s Nominated Officer for Anti-Money Laundering and Senior Registrar, I’ve worked at the frontline of evolving regulations, turning red tape into workable solutions for artists, collectors, and institutions alike. I’m passionate about demystifying operations and compliance for the art world, helping people understand that it’s not about slowing things down, but about ensuring incredible works of art can move freely and securely, enriching institutions, collections, and public discourse.
