Important new research suggests the Met curator’s personal collection of 20k ancient vase fragments “were deliberately dispersed among dealers and collectors to disguise the mechanism of the illicit market in antiquities and that Bothmer may have played a role in facilitating their movements.”

Stay tuned as we are getting ready to mount the largest statue ever to enter our collection (and I should add we already pride ourselves of having biggish casts of the Farnese Hercules and the Nike of Samothrace...).
