Lynda Albertson 'Auction Alert - Bonhams Auction House - An il(licit) Apulian red-figure janiform kantharos?' Art-crime Blogspot, Tuesday,  July 02, 2019

As is often the case with objects originating from these known dealers and middlemen one is curious as to the extent of the documentation, if any, was used by Bonhams to evaluate whether or not this particular ancient object had legitimacy on the ancient art market.

UPDATE 3rd July 2019
Bonhams Auction House - Apulian red-figure janiform kantharos... object Withdrawn before auction. Dozens of objects in similar states of unpaperedness not withdrawn because no photos came into activists' hands.  #CantTouchYerForIt-legitimacy.
