Robert Goldman

In its battle against cybersmearing, Park West Gallery sought out one of the top legal advisors on art crime in the industry. After extensive due diligence, Robert E. Goldman joined Park West's legal team, assisting the Southfield-based law firm Young & Susser.

"In the fall of 2008, Albert Scaglione invited me in to examine the company's people, policies, operations and collection," said Goldman. "There were no boundaries or barriers to my study, and I have developed a deep respect for and trust in this extraordinary organization of honest, hard-working professionals. Based on my first-hand observations and decades of art law experience, I am delighted to be joining their legal team."
