Has anyone read this yet? It actually mentions Salem a few times.
The article was mostly anti-looting but not anti-collecting, and made some important points about perfectly legal objects that have no
provenance. It also raises important points about objects likely getting destroyed if they stay in their
home countries (in cases of civil war, etc.). So, overall, a decent mainstream article that wasn't entirely anti-collector and actually interviewed the collector involved in Salem's case, describing how well taken-care-of
his antiquities are.
I'd be interested to hear others' impressions.
