In Germany art stolen over 30 years ago is no longer considered stolen. Their auction houses openly sell stolen art. There is a case now where a Polish museum is fighting to get a stolen painting back from a German auction house.

Question: when a piece of art is recovered, does the museum have to pay back the amount the insurance company paid them for the claim the museum made? Why or why not? Surprised there was no mention that much of the stolen pieces become an ersatz currency for criminal networks - though in reality, the criminals can never redeem the works for cash, they are still used as cash.

@kuffertmedhat 3 жыл бұрын

The museum effectively sells the rights to the stolen works, in the event they are recovered, to the insurance company, in exchange for the lump-sum insurance payout. In this case, the museum was able to buy back the stolen works. This is how it was explained in the video, but I don't know how common that practice is.

@@Pencil0fDoom Yeah, when the copy becomes just as valuable as the original, we have a problem. Personally, I would rather the art be stolen *because* of its value so the work can retain its authenticity, and only if its stolen, should a copy be put up, to honor the original.

@nube_fenix Жыл бұрын

not sure if i agree with making restorations noticeable so that they can be improved in the future. My approach would be to document the restoration but make it as seamless as possible. I mean, it's bound to look different anyways, so why half the effort?

My question many years ago was, if such an important/known art gets stolen, it has a target on it. So who buys that? Now, knowing that the majority of all collections (art or antiquity) are privately owned, then it's not so difficult to realise who buys or to say boldly, who orders such art heists.

I'll have more respect for museums when they return the artifacts they have stolen themselves over the centuries and have yet no desire to return them. Whole continents have suffered the lose of their historical pieces. The museum I work in we have no pieces that are stolen and its an amazing pride filled career when you do work with other countries to exhibit some of their artifacts and returning them afterwards. Museums are my life but there is and always will be a great sadness when you observe the thefts that go unmentioned.

@sihamstakeon3445 3 жыл бұрын

From your experience, is it true that all the exhibited artworks (especially paintings) are not originals? I heard this information in a documentary and it made a lot of sense bc there’s no way museums would put up originals for the public. No?

@davidtydeman1434 7 ай бұрын

I don’t understand the economics of art theft. Are they stealing on spec or are they stealing to order? If stealing from a gallery where all the works of art are documented it must be very hard to sell. Gold can be melted down and jewels can be reset. Cash can be laundered. Paintings have a base value of close to zero - some wood canvas and paint. All the value is in the skill of the artist and the name recognition of the artist. Do we believe that there are reclusive billionaires with clandestine art collections or am I missing something?

What all this stolen art amounts to, is lost revenue. A large part of the annual product is not producing a return to society. A $40 million dollar Picasso is not making more money as a stolen piece of art. Art projects, museum staff and services, are less $40 million poorer and society pays the bill instead of the art piece earning its own money.
