quotation

The operation backtracks artifacts to their theft sites and searches out smuggling methods from the source country to Kapoor's former U.S. gallery on Madison Avenue.ICE says BSU representatives became "unwitting victims" as Kapoor provided the Owsley Museum with a false provenance for their artifact. Kapoor had a fraudulent provenance attributed to Leo Figiel that placed the artifact back to a U.S. collection in 1969. (English)
