Today's art industry news: A band of young thieves staged a very real $330,000 heist on the set of Netflix's hit art-thief show 'Lupin,' MoMA restores its contract with the NYPD, and more:
Christos Tsirogiannis, an expert in looted antiquities and outspoken advocate for restitution, has urged the J. Paul Getty Museum to return a Roman fresco fragment to Italy. Tsirogiannis claims he has identified a photograph of the fragment in the archive of the late dealer Robert Hecht, who was accused of illegally trafficking artifacts. Tsirogiannis has alerted the district attorney’s office in New York that the fragment may have come from Pompeii.
Seven people between the ages of 13 and 21 were accused of staging an armed robbery last month on the set of the French hit Netflix series, which was filming in the Nanterre district in the west of central Paris. A gang of 20 allegedly stole more than $330,000 worth of equipment from the set while the crew and cast, including the show’s star Omar Sy, were present. No one was injured.
