"I thought everything in the #BritishMuseum was stolen, hur hur" was funny the first 278 times, but the modern illegal trade in #antiquities is a serious problem hurting people who are still alive, so maybe we should stop being 12-year-olds and listen

#Trump is hoarding #Israeli #antiquities at #MarALago

It appears that government-owned WH records & highly #ClassifiedDocuments aren’t the only government property being stored at Trump’s Palm Beach residence in FL.

Acc/to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, “senior Israeli figures” have spent the past 3 years attempting to arrange for the return of a set of priceless antiquities that were lent to the WH for a 2019 Hannukah celebration.

Didn't have time to post yesterday for Rome's birthday. Traditionally, Rome's founding date is April 21, making Rome 2,775 years old. Here are images of ancient Roman glass in The Corning Museum of Glass.1. Mosaic glass bowl. Italy or East Mediterranean, 125-1 BCE. 2. Dish cover in the form of a fish. Probably Italy, 1st Century CE. 3. Wine pitcher with applique of a follower of Dionysus at the handle. Probably Italy, 50-75 CE. #ancientglass #Romanglass #antiquities #ancientart #arthistory

--
What happened may be a sign that objects from the collection of James and Marilynn Alsdorf will have trouble finding buyers following questions about how they were acquired. The piece from Nepal was once displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago.

Excellent article by Donna Yates on #tax #fraud through donations of #antiquities.
Would be interesting to list all the tactics used by "philanthropic" collectors to inflate tax deductions for #art donations (often with the complicity of many #artmarket actors) https://twitter.com/OpenLinkArtData/status/1639138881084743681
