“The popularity of Facebook in the Middle East and features such as Facebook Groups… has made it the most common platform for the buying and selling artefacts.” The scale is shocking. This trafficking FB group-one of more than 500 ATHAR monitors-has nearly 1 million members.
“Facebook has also been accused of perpetuating the theft of artefacts by failing to remove posts offering them for sale.” Indeed. In this Nov 2023 post a user listed in Syria is looking to sell a Greek mosaic while still in situ. He asks users in comments “how to sell”

“In the past week, HSI New York has proudly reunited the People of Cambodia and Indonesia with 30 artifacts that represent each country’s uniquely robust cultural heritage,” said Special Agent in Charge Ivan J. Arvelo. #HSINY

Here it is: my first ever op-ed for @undarkmag in which I discuss the ethical and legal challenges surrounding research on #fossils from #Crimea and how publishers and scientists should confront them. Palaeontology needs a robust system of provenance declarations. #FossilFriday

@AdrianVickers5 @metmuseum @ChannelNewsAsia 10- Possibly the Met has other pieces of evidence that reflect this statue’s connection to Latchford. They haven’t (yet?) publically revealed their specific research into this or any other of the 16 sculptures they are returning to Cambodia and Thailand.
@AdrianVickers5 @metmuseum 7- The villagers directed Tanongsak & Lalita to a stone plinth on the old temple site. The dimensions indicate it may have been the plinth for the statue …
@AdrianVickers5 @metmuseum 6- Latchford, who used to stay at the family home of the present village headman, bought it for 1 million baht (about US27,900).
@AdrianVickers5 @metmuseum 5- his wife was still alive. She stated her brother had found the statue while digging potatoes. It was lying horizontally under the soil. She cleaned it & recalled particular markings on it. They took it to the village of Ban Fai to sell ...
@AdrianVickers5 @metmuseum 3- In a footnote, they specify the location is "Ban Yang, Lahan district, where its stone base is still visible, and not in Cambodia."
In 2022 researchers Tanongsak Hanwong & Lalita Hanwong visited the village where the statue was said to have been found. Elderly villagers recounted its discovery & sale, as recorded by a @ChannelNewsAsia documentary team led by @OlOlive4. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=Q3ezjg…
@ChasingAphrodit Douglas Latchford bought the statue from the Thai villagers who unearthed it. In 1988 it was sold via Spink to Walter Annenberg. But WA only owned a 50% share of the statue at the time of the gift to the Met. Who owned the other 50% hasn't been revealed. x.com/chiuangelas/st…
@AdrianVickers5 @metmuseum 2- The “Golden Boy” is linked to Latchford. The Met from 1988, when it acquired it, until very recently stated it is from Cambodia. But contrary to this, Latchford & Emma Bunker wrote in their 2008 book Khmer Gold that it is from northeast Thailand ...
"Giacomo Medici, Robert E. Hecht Jr. and Robin Symes -- acquired items that had been illegally removed from Italian tombs and used fake ownership histories, rigged auctions and relied on frontmen to sell the objects with a veneer of legitimacy" #crime #art latimes.com/archives/la-xp…
This just got over, but you can rewind time and watch on YouTube. youtube.com/live/FjvLtfIW9… What drew my attention was the promo use of the Man Ray photo with a Chac Mool. I hope someone mentioned that this particular Chac Mool, I believe sold by the Stendahl Gallery, is fake.
@ChasingAphrodit @GLAMDataCarol @mfaboston @DallasMuseumArt @SAMAart @metmuseum artist michael asher worked with moma registrars to publish a book of deacessions.
Not to forget the Uyghurs. All cultural erasing or ethnic cleansing, whether in Palestine, Syria, or in Xinjiang, is reprehensible. The struggle against them is the same: resistance to effacement. A disappearance in Xinjiang ft.com/content/ca0364… via @FT
@ChasingAphrodit An interesting debate, should museums keep public references of artefacts they once owned, why be selective about the history of an object when it’s all part of its story.
I didn’t share this because I was waiting for @americanacad to realize their mistake. I am astonished and humbled by this enormous honor. Candida Moss elected to American Academy of Arts & Sciences birmingham.ac.uk/news/2024/cand… via @unibirmingham @isawnyu @littlebrown
@ChasingAphrodit This practice drives me crazy. Very few museums keep the record and show it as ‘deaccessioned’ - most just want to erase their own history.
