Should artists be held to the same reporting and disclosure requirements as hedge funds, mutual funds, and public companies when selling their artwork?

Yes

Depends. They’re individuals, they shouldn’t be treated as business entities.

yes to ensure the buyers aren't scammed but they shouldn't have to face the same amount of legal docs as a business

Depends on the artists background we know most art colleges are attended by affluent families with working class individuals being the minority

Not the same requirements, but some to hold them to a level of accountability

Individual artists shouldn't be held to the same standards as large businesses but should be held to some degree of clarity

Yes for artists earning over a certain amount (eg €150k)

Yes, but only after the value of the art exceeds a reasonable threshold - or the seller/dealer's combined income exceeds a reasonable threshold. Individual artists, should not be subjected to burdensome regulations if they're making less than a good, middle-class, living from their art.

I want to artists to able to make a living from art and remain protected

Yes however this should only be applicable to artists that are expecting a payout of over an agreed upon price range. For example, this should not be applicable to artists selling work for under €1000. This would allow room for creativity to still thrive and deter them away from plagiarism and theft of other artists work.

Depends on the value of the art. Cannot expect a small scale painter or singer to have to provide the same information as a hedge fund who have teams of people to work on this as their sole job

A financial entity is vastly different to an artist. different rules entirely apply

Only when their income reaches a high threshold. It's hard enough supporting yourself as an artist as is.

No as long as they arnt being fraudulent to people

They should be held to higher standard, lest they be culled
