Tackling the Trade in Looted Cultural Property
Program Date:
Tuesday, December 12, 2017
Program Description:
ELIPS, in partnership with California Lawyers for the Arts, is delighted to host a panel discussion at LACMA's Brown Auditorium which will address the recent response of the US Congress to the looting of antiquities from Syria with the enactment of the Protect and Preserve International Cultural Property Act (2016) and the legacy of Nazi-looted art with the enactment of the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act (2016). In the light of these legislative developments, the panel will discuss what steps lawyers, law enforcement agencies and museums can take to address the trade in looted art and cultural property.
Our expert panel will include speakers Margot Stokol, Director, Legal Affairs, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Elizabeth Rivas, Special Agent, Federal Bureau of Investigations, Art and Antiquity Investigations; and Daniel McClean, international art lawyer, Partner, Cypress LLP (Los Angeles) and Counsel, Howard Kennedy (London).
The program will conclude with a private tour of the exhibition: Sarah Charlesworth: Doubleworld at 7:30 p.m.
