A post on
Illicit Cultural Property highlighted an interview between John Stewart of
The Daily Show and the author Peter Laufer which drew a parallel between art trafficking and the illegal trade of endangered species. Indeed, a similar parallel can be also be made between endangered species hanging "dead on the wall" as Laufer describes them, and looted antiquities ripped out of context on a collector's mantelpiece. Worth a viewing. Thanks, Derek, for bringing this to our attention.
