Continuing issues on the New York market

Dalya Alberge has written some important pieces about the antiquities market. These include coverage of objects identified from photographic archives at Christies in 2010 and Bonhams in the same year.

There is due to be significant newspaper coverage of the continuing problem of antiquities surfacing on the New York market. Given that a spokesperson for Christie's described objects identified in such photographs as "stolen" (and those objects were returned to Italy in April 2012), we should expect full co-operation with the Italian authorities.
