The Acquisition And Exhibition Of Classical Antiquities : Professional, Legal, And Ethical Perspectives

Attribution
edited by Robin F. Rhodes
Publication Details
Book, University of Notre Dame Press, 2007
Description
Cultural property and its stewardship have long been concerns of museums, archaeologists, art historians, and nations, but recently the legal and political consequences of collecting antiquities have also attracted broad media attention. Delivered at a 2007 symposium by eminent museum directors and curators, legal scholars, archaeologists, and historians and practitioners of art and architecture, these papers comprise a rich and nuanced reference work. Many viewpoints are expressed and several essays show how the ground is shifting as museums rewrite policies to take into account new legal realities, especially internationally, while archaeologists, anthropologists, art historians, and legal professionals show an increasingly more sophisticated understanding of the many dimensions of illicit excavation and the acquisition of illicit property.” (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

Who Owns Antiquity? : Museums And The Battle Over Our Ancient Heritage

Attribution
James Cuno
Publication Details
Book, Princeton University Press, 2008
Description
Whether antiquities should be returned to the countries where they were found is one of the most urgent and controversial issues in the art world today, and it has pitted museums, private collectors, and dealers against source countries, archaeologists, and academics. Maintaining that the acquisition of undocumented antiquities by museums encourages the looting of archaeological sites, countries such as Italy, Greece, Egypt, Turkey, and China have claimed ancient artifacts as state property, called for their return from museums around the world, and passed laws against their future export.
