"If the carabinieri called me and said, 'We want the volute krater by the Virginia Exhibition Painter back,' it would suck," she said, referring to one of the collection's prized objects. "But you've got to be open about this, especially about objects that were collected [before the standards were agreed upon]. I wouldn't be happy about it, but I would be a lot happier doing the right thing, [which is] the legal thing."<BR/><BR/>Kate Taylor, "Fordham Opens Museum of Classical Art", <I>New York Sun</I>, December 6, 2007<BR/><A HREF="http://www.nysun.com/article/67604" REL="nofollow">http://www.nysun.com/article/67604</A>David Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13164794689385933318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972497915033440413.post-8073235116581490752007-12-06T21:12:00.000+00:002007-12-06T21:12:00.000+00:00See Richard Lacayo, "Undocumented Immigrants?", ht...See Richard Lacayo, "Undocumented Immigrants?", <A HREF="http://time-blog.com/looking_around/2007/12/sign_of_the_times.html" REL="nofollow">http://time-blog.com/looking_around/2007/12/sign_of_the_times.html</A>.<BR/><BR/>In particular, "But when he [sc. Walsh] tells the Times that he hopes his collection is sufficiently documented because it was all acquired through auction, not private dealers, he may be putting too much faith in how energetically the auction houses vetted their consignments in the days not so long ago when buyers and sellers were less sensitive to the issue of illegal exports."David Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13164794689385933318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972497915033440413.post-10248394839229655152007-12-06T18:31:00.000+00:002007-12-06T18:31:00.000+00:00Hodges is quoted as saying "Fordham needs to be ve...Hodges is quoted as saying "Fordham needs to be very careful about this". Care is indeed the watchword. The recent returns to Italy from Boston, Malibu, New York and Princeton - and indeed from Jerome Eisenberg - show that items acquired during the 1970s had apparently been removed from Italy illegally. We need to ask about the sources for antiquities that surface on the market without previous histories. <BR/><BR/>History teaches us that care is needed. And that is why there needs to be further information supplied about these newly displayed pieces.David Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13164794689385933318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972497915033440413.post-49845988242555136872007-12-06T16:25:00.000+00:002007-12-06T16:25:00.000+00:00Hodges sounds a bit jealous and appears more than ...Hodges sounds a bit jealous and appears more than a bit deceitful in the way he goes about planting doubts about objects that have been generally known about and in public view for a very long time.
