The increase in art prices has been responsible for the wholesale theft, mutilation and destruction of art everywhere in the world. The illicit looting of archaeological sites gets less publicity, but its consequences are more serious, because they include the total loss of unrecorded information. The author believes that no antiquity given to a museum should qualify for a tax benefit if the donated object is without convincing documentation. (first of a series of 3 articles.)
