Special Lecture: Modern Antiquities: The Looted and Faked

David A. Scott, professor, department of art history, UCLA, and founding director (2003-2011) of the UCLA/Getty Master's Program in Archaeological and Ethnographic Conservation, discusses issues of the acquisition of art and the different philosophical views regarding the reclaiming of art by nation states using examples from the Getty and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Also discussed are the problems created by looted art, in association with the ever-increasing number of fakes, through examples of pre-Columbian objects and classical antiquities.
