Why New York can be a risky place for dealers and museums to hold art

The Manhattan District Attorney's (DA) office has for many years been seizing antiquities from dealers, collectors and even museums. Since 2017, around 6,000 objects have been seized and most of these have now been repatriated to countries of origin like India, Mexico, China and Greece. In April, the DA received a very favourable ruling from the state's supreme court allowing the seizure of the Egon Schiele drawing, Russian War Prisoner (1916), at the Art Institute of Chicago. The museum is now appealing that decision.

Trump's Anti-Woke Crackdown Hasn't Stopped the Smithsonian from Righting This Historic Wrong

It was 170 years since a village led by the Little Thunders' great-great-grandfather was massacred by the U.S. Army, leaving eighty-six Lakota dead, many of them women and children. As I wrote in a November 2024 feature story for Smithsonian, the episode, which occurred 35 years before the infamous massacre at Wounded Knee, remains little known even today. I also reported how, while the village lay smoldering, Army Lieutenant Gouverneur K. Warren, a noncombatant topographer attached to the force, collected dozens of Lakota belongings.
