Listen "Turkey's Quest for the Stargazer"
Episode Synopsis
Katie and Steve speak with veteran cultural property and art lawyer, Tom Kline, about his representation of Christie's and Michael Steinhardt in litigation brought by Turkey to possess a millennia-old Anatolian marble statue (the Stargazer) owned by Steinhardt and sold by him through Christie's. After a trial in the Southern District of New York, Turkey lost for the primary reason that they could not provide facts supporting their claim to ownership of the Stargazer, specifically that it was stolen from modern day Turkey after 1906.
