Recovery of Stolen and Looted Works of Art - Seminar London 10 December 1998
Details at: http://www.pipemedia.net/ial

Recent events and court cases demonstrate that the law surrounding ownership of looted and stolen works of art is murky at best. Transfer of goods from one country to another, the passage of time and the existence of anti-seizure statutes all combine to complicate matters. The next Institute of Art and Law seminar, to be held in London on December 10th 1998 in association with Kluwer Law International will seek to unravel some of these complexities.
