COMMITTEE FOR CULTURAL PROPERTY
1st November 2017
The New York District Attorney’s office, under the aggressive direction of Cyrus Vance and dedicated anti-art trade crusader Assistant DA Matthew Bogdanos, has made two cultural property seizures in recent weeks. Neither object was recently looted; together, they had been in museums or private collections for over 115 years. There was no evidence of wrongdoing by the collectors or dealers involved.
