Finally: I see reporting that says that the items stolen from the BM are possibly worth "tens of millions of pounds". I find that to be unlikely:
1. Most Roman etc gems on the market are in the few thousand range. Just because a gem is in the BM doesn't mean it is valuable.
2. A piece stolen from a museum has an actual value of zero. NO ONE wants to buy something stolen from a museum. They only have value if the BM is the one selling them.

The Roman bust is in the news again b/c it returns home to Germany next month. We love that this article addresses the fact that title does not pass after a theft. When an object is looted, title remains w/ the rightful owner. #artlaw #culturalheritage

Celebs are just like us! Well, they're like other collectors- they sometimes (unintentionally or perhaps w/ insufficient due diligence) buy stolen art. Madonna has a looted painting in her collection. Our blog post digs into this issue. https://www.artandiplawfirm.com/madonna/

I'm Matthew! I'm an architect who assists with campaigns for return of the Parthenon Sculptures (AKA Elgin Marbles) to Greece - but my interest extends to all forms of cultural property disputes & looting of ancient artefacts - plus a fair bit of ancient Greek history too.
I blog at: http://elginism.com/ but not nearly as often as I want to.

Hello Mastodon. My introductory post. I am a lawyer and author in the #art world. I live in #lewes and am far too old and untalented to be enjoying football with #lewesvets as much as I do. My interests are #music #politics #artlaw backcountry #ski and #football - particularly #BHAFC and #lewesfcwomen. Iām hoping Mastodon will be a place for tolerance, debate and discussion rather than the place that Twitter has become.

Did you know there is an #InternationalLaw card game modeled on the decisions of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the PCIJ and the PCA? This is wild: https://jeutner.com/international-game-of-justice/
It's called the "International Game of Justice" and is made by Valentin Jeutner. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems like a good Christmas/holiday/whenever present for your favorite law geeks.
