Italian Claim On Minneapolis Vase

The Minneapolis Institute of Arts is on the list of museums Italian authorities say have stolen art in their collections. “The Italians support their claim on the Minneapolis piece with a photo of a pottery fragment that appears to match the vase. ‘We’ve not received any notification from the Italians and have no proof that the object was looted,’ said William Griswold, the museum’s director. ‘If we have reason to believe an object has been stolen, we would absolutely want to respond in an ethical and legally responsible fashion’.”
