Chippindale on Cuno

Christopher Chippindale has reviewed James Cuno's Who Owns Antiquity? (2008) for The Art Newspaper. Chippindale considers it to be

a clear, well-argued, and too partisan book about the vexed question of how great museums like his should collect ancient objects.

Chippindale continues:

The greedy and knowing acquisition of looted antiquities by its great museums is a bad mistake for the long term.

The recent announcement by the AAMD concerning the acquisition of antiquities can perhaps be seen as a sea-change for institutions in North America.
