Pierre Bergé Needed to be More Careful Being Associated with Antiquities Sales

 

There is a longish and quite thought-provoking article about the still-unfolding French high end antiquities trafficking cases involving a number of actors on the international "art" market: "Trafic d’antiquités: le rôle central de la maison de ventes Pierre Bergé et Associés" par Emmanuel Fansten, liberation.fr 31 may 2022.  Since this article is paywalled and in French, there is a translation by Adélaïde Carton on an antiquities collectors' forum that some readers might find more useful and accessible.
