WHO OWNS ANTIQUITY?
Museums and the Battle Over Our Ancient Heritage
By James Curio
Princeton University Press
248 pp. | $24.95
In 1972, the Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired, for the then-astounding price of $1 million, an exceptional artifact of Greek vase painting dating from the sixth century B.C. Executed in black glaze on red clay, the Euphronios Krater's decoration depicts an episode from the Iliad in which the slain warrior Sarpedon, son of Zeus, is carried toward his homeland by the figures of Sleep and Death. Perhaps ...
