ITALIAN DEALERS
TO AID ART Buying
Association Acts to Smooth
Way for Foreigners Trying
to Add Treasures. =
BY the Associated Press.

ROME, MARCH 26-American are
dealers, buyers for museums and pri-
vate collectors will find things made q
great deal easier for them in this hot
bed of art as a result of developments
at the first National Convention OF
italian Dealers in Antiquities and Art
In a three-day session here the
national association troned out diff
culties in its own organization, in the
buying and selling of Italy's precious
antiquities, and paved the way for
legislation which will facilitate the
puchase Of ancient works OF art In Italy
by American dealers.
Government Now Rules Sternly.
AS the law stands there are number
of works which foreign buyers are not
permitted to acquire. On other pieces
of art there Is a tax Of 20 per cent OF
the value declared upon 1t by the buyer
And If the buyer declares small value
in order to lower this tax, the gov
eminent has the option of buying the
work at the figure thus declared.
The National Association OF An
tiQuity Dealers will seek to put through
q law for definite listing of the objets
dart which the government Will not
permit to be exported. simultaneously
1t will strive for lowering of export
duties on all other works of art.
Brokers to Watch Sales.
The association also voted for the
nomination of committee to study
1.-The defense and valuation of the
artistic and intellectual patrimony OF
Italy; and the penetration Of Italy by
foreign merchants"
AS a result of the convention the
association. which embraces practically
all the large art dealers, brokers and
collectors in Italy, will in future exer-
else close surveillance on private sales
of art through the medium of so-called
private galleries. These, 1t is asserted,
hide their speculative activities under
the guise of collecting only for them
selves, and thus evade the government
taxes and laws.
This surveillance should make 1t more
dificult for fraudulent dealers to mulct
American collectors. A group Of Italians
now awaits trial for having sold false
works of art to several American
museums.
