Should Antiquities Return to Where They Came From?
Manage episode 381652796 series 1912390
This week host Benjamin Miller engages Lillian Stoner, a scholar of classical antiquity, in a wide-ranging discussion about the quirks and inequities of provenance, tomb robbery, and repatriation as it concerns objects of the ancient world. Of particular concern is the infamous “hot pot” that was once on display in New York City: the Euphronios or Sarpedon Krater, a monumental bowl for mixing wine with water, decorated with red-figure paintings by the Attic virtuoso Euphronios. Acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art for over $1 million in 1972, it was repatriated to Italy in 2008 after decades of investigations into its questionable origins.
