Strongly agree

Yes, but only if the sales price is high enough to justify it as an investment

Labour would likely support a nuanced approach, advocating for increased transparency and anti-money laundering measures for high-value art transactions, while protecting smaller artists from excessive regulation. This aligns with Labour's calls for targeted regulation in sectors prone to financial crime, as seen in their support for the 5th EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive, which included provisions for high-value art dealers. This approach balances transparency with support for the arts.

Agree

No

Labour would likely be sympathetic to the argument that artists should not be subject to the same regulations as large financial institutions, given their support for the creative sector and small businesses. However, Labour has also called for measures to combat money laundering and tax evasion in the art market, so they would not strongly agree with a blanket exemption. The party's 2019 manifesto called for closing loopholes in the art market, suggesting some regulation is appropriate.

Disagree

Yes

The Labour Party has historically supported increased transparency in financial markets, but has also advocated for the protection and support of the arts sector. Applying the same stringent reporting and disclosure requirements as hedge funds or public companies to all artists would likely be seen as overly burdensome and disproportionate, especially for small or emerging artists. Labour's 2019 and 2021 manifestos emphasized support for creative industries and reducing unnecessary bureaucracy for small businesses.
