The Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) Boston has returned two looted artefacts—a bronze relief plaque and a terracotta and iron head—to the Oba of Benin during a ceremony at Nigeria House in New York City. The works, stolen by British forces during the 1897 punitive expedition against the Kingdom of Benin, were traced to the collection of Augustus Pitt-Rivers and later acquired by investment titan Robert Owen Lehman, who donated them to the MFA in 2013 and 2018. The pieces will be handed over to Nigeria's National Commission for Museums and Monuments and ultimately to His Royal Majesty Omo N’Oba Ewuare II.

An Artist Renounced His Family. They Sued to Acquire His Life’s Work.

The heirs of the late artist Robert S. Neuman sued his longtime gallerist, June Kelly, to gain control of his artistic estate. The lawsuit, filed in New York, claims Kelly exploited her relationship with the elderly artist to secure ownership of hundreds of his works, while the family argues Neuman's renunciation of them was based on false information she provided. The family's victory in court, resulting in the transfer of the entire collection to them, sets a significant precedent for estate disputes involving artists and their dealers. It highlights the complex power dynamics and potential for exploitation in artist-gallerist relationships, especially as artists age, and may influence how galleries structure agreements to protect both their interests and those of an artist's heirs.

This curatorial trend, often referred to as 'slow looking,' prioritizes deep engagement and spatial experience over the traditional model of high-volume, rapid-fire viewing. By isolating a single masterpiece or installation, institutions are challenging the 'speed and glut' that defines modern digital and visual consumption.
