亞太畫廊聯盟新主席陳菁螢女士 領導跨國合作 交流亞太藝術品真偽爭議議題

自2015年成立以來，亞太畫廊聯盟（Asia Pacific Art Gallery Alliance, APAGA）一直致力於促進亞太各國畫廊協會之間的合作、溝通與資訊交換。2024年9月8日，APAGA新任主席 (任期2024-2026年)、TAGA理事長陳菁螢女士於韓國首爾Hotel Crescendo Seoul主持「2024 APAGA暨藝術品鑑定鑑價機制國際合作論壇 -首爾場」的早餐會，繼續推動跨國合作，針對藝術品真偽爭議進行深度探討。

在會議開場致詞中，陳菁螢女士強調，藝術品鑑定鑑價議題是當前台灣文化部與TAGA高度關注的重點。她希望借助近期在台灣發生的爭議事件，與亞太各國分享經驗、交流應對策略，並從中學習如何應對類似挑戰，開啟國際間的實質合作。

會議中，TAGA介紹了「國史館臺灣文獻館特展爭議」事件，並提出了三大訴求：

建置《材料物質比對資料庫》與《人才資料庫》；
建構鑑定與鑑價專業人員之職能標準；
文化部應定期舉行工作會議，討論「藝術品鑑定鑑價作業準則」檢討與修正，提升台灣科學檢測優勢領域。

來自韓國畫廊協會的鑑定鑑價委員會代表及新加坡畫廊協會代表也參與了此次會議，分享韓國在該議題上的事件經驗，並進行深入討論。

陳菁螢女士在總結發言中表示，台灣和韓國目前都在積極建構藝術品鑑定與鑑價的相關機制，未來的國際合作仍需長期的交流與可行性討論。雙方一致認為，應每年定期舉行以「鑑定鑑價委員會」為交流對象，以具體主題為核心的會議或論壇，以推動更深入的合作。此次會議標誌著亞太地區在藝術品鑑定與鑑價領域的實質性合作正式展開，為未來的跨國合作奠定了堅實基礎。

New APAGA Chairperson Ms. Claudia CHEN Leads Cross-Border Cooperation to Address Authenticity Issues in Asia-Pacific Artworks

Since its establishment in 2015, the Asia Pacific Art Gallery Alliance (APAGA) has been committed to fostering cooperation, communication, and information exchange among gallery associations in the Asia-Pacific region. On September 8^th, 2024, Ms. Claudia CHEN, the newly appointed APAGA Chairperson (term: 2024-2026) and Chairperson of the Taiwan Art Gallery Association (TAGA), hosted the "2024 APAGA & Appraisal Practice Forum - SEOUL Session" at the Hotel Crescendo Seoul in South Korea. The event aimed to enhance cross-border collaboration and facilitate in-depth discussions regarding the authenticity controversies surrounding artworks.

In her opening remarks, Ms. Claudia CHEN emphasized that art authentication and appraisal are currently key issues of focus for both Ministry of Culture (R.O.C.) and TAGA. She expressed her hope that by reflecting on recent controversies in Taiwan, the alliance could share experiences and strategies from other Asia-Pacific countries, learning how to address similar challenges while fostering practical international collaboration.

During the meeting, TAGA presented the case of the "The Controversy Surrounding the Exhibition at Taiwan Historica" and proposed three major TAGA’s Statements:

Establishment of a Material and Substance Comparison Database and a Talent Database;
Establishment of Functional Standards for Authentication and Appraisal Professionals;
Calling on the Ministry of Culture (R.O.C.) should conduct regular working meetings to enhance Taiwan's competitive edge in Scientific Testing.

Representatives from the Art Appraisal Committee of Galleries Association of Korea, along with representatives from the Art Galleries Association Singapore, attended the meeting. They shared Korea's experiences in addressing similar issues and participated in detailed discussions.

In her concluding remarks, Ms. Claudia CHEN emphasized that both Taiwan and Korea are actively engaged in developing their respective authentication and appraisal mechanisms. She further stated that future international cooperation will necessitate continuous exchanges and discussions to evaluate feasibility. Both parties concurred on the importance of establishing an annual forum or conference centered on specific topics, with the "Authentication and Appraisal Committees" serving as the primary platform for these exchanges to foster deeper collaboration.

This meeting represents a significant advancement in fostering substantial cooperation within the Asia-Pacific region regarding art authentication and appraisal, establishing a strong foundation for future cross-border collaborations.
