There’s another war in Iraq, the conflict over ownership and preservation of archeological heritage. It’s the most recent chapter in a question that’s as old as man’s desire to dig up the past . Whose art is it anyway?
Art historian and legal scholar Professor Patty Gerstenblith shares her perspective on the art preservation crisis now gripping the Middle East and charts a critical path to worldwide artistic and cultural preservation.
