Class: Kerrin Meis - Loot: Who Owns the World’s Art?
02/15/2012 4:00 pm
Three Wednesdays: Feb. 15-29
There is much talk recently about the repatriation of art, from The Bust of Nefertiti to the rape of Europe by the Nazis and the plundering of the National Museum in Bagdad. What are the ethics involved? Should a museum accept and keep purloined art? Topics include The Rosetta Stone, The Elgin marbles, the Cross of Edmund St. Bury, frescoes from Catalonian churches, The Alter of Zeus from Pergamon, Klimt’s Portrait of Anna Bloch-Bauer, and the Getty Museum scandal.
