The Art Finance industry grows each year, driven by art’s high value and tightening credit markets. Securing an art loan to fund other investment opportunities has become an increasingly viable source of liquidity and a popular alternative to selling.

In this episode, entertainment lawyer, Kirk Schroder, talks with Rebecca Fine, a founding member and CEO of Athena Art Finance. Rebecca has more than 25 years of experience the intersections of art, law and finance. Prior to Athena, Rebecca was an art lawyer, advising world-renowned art galleries, dealers, private collectors, museums, and artists on both contentious matters and transactions.
