Save Super Art is a campaign by organizations and individuals across the Australian art industry opposed to the Cooper Review recommendations that would prohibit the acquisition of art in Self Managed Super Funds (SMSF), and require SMSFs to divest their art investments over the next 5 years.
SAVE SUPER ART calls on the Gillard Government to reject the Cooper Review recommendations which are fundamentally flawed and are already creating damaging uncertainty within the Australian art market. If implemented, their effect on the Australian art industry would be disastrous.
The campaign is being conducted by the Australian Artists Association, a not-for-profit lobby group representing the needs of professional artists (www.australianartistsassociation.org.au), with the support of organizations and individuals across the Australian art industry, including artists, indigenous art community centres, galleries, art consultants, adviser and dealers, auction houses and the wide variety of support services within the art industry. These support services include art supplies manufacturers, distributors and retailers, conservators, educators, framers, installers, publishers, reviewers, storers, transporters, and valuers.
