Talk:J. Paul Getty Museum

"The controversies with Italy and Greece," NPOV problems

This section appears to be in need of a cleanup, and a NPOV presentation of the Getty's position on the controversy & return of antiquities. Our article presently makes the Getty the Bad Guys, but IB the actual situation is more nuanced. --Pete Tillman (talk) 07:43, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

I concur. In fact, this article would benefit from more use of Felch & Frammolino's Chasing Aphrodite. That book, written by two investigative reporters who spent five years (2005-2010) on the activities of this museum, explains the origins of the museum (such as Getty's own art collection, which was selected more with an eye to bargains than to quality, resulting with a selection that was "largely mediocre art" -- p. 23); the pressures of US tax law which required them to spend on a regular basis tens of millions of dollars; snapshots of shady figures in the Classical art market, as well as examples of how specific pieces pass thru it; the changing ethics in museum acquisitions (the Getty wasn't the only one who bought looted art); & that Marion True was not the only one at Getty involved (her predecessor Jiri Frel makes her appear by contrast a saint). One could argue that the Getty bought so many pieces of questionable origin because these criminals were attracted to its bottomless funds for acquisitions, & that even with modern, more ethical standards, it was inevitable that they would have purchased pieces from questionable, if not illegal, sources. -- llywrch (talk) 17:50, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

How can it be NPOV? The Italian Procure are filled with papers that clearly depict the Museum as a plundering organization, second only to the British Museum.
