provenance taboo?

edit

I have removed the following from the intro:

Provenance issues regarding works of art and cultural artifacts is a largely taboo subject within the museum discipline.

There was no supporting citation and the text of the article points out that many museums and galleries are researching Nazi era provenance of works of art and publishing the results. I suspect that whoever added it was referring to disputed ownership of artifacts such as the Elgin Marbles where there is a dispute about validity of ownership transfers. Anyway, I think it needs to be more specific and certainly needs a citation. Rjm at sleepers (talk) 08:39, 28 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hadn't seen that - it seems nonsense to me. Johnbod (talk) 11:07, 28 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
Agreed with Johnbod. It's a PoV-pushing exercise by someone who thinks all museums are engaged in illegal/unethical antiquities trade. That assumption was actually mostly true about 2 generations ago, but times have changed. — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿¤þ   Contrib. 11:18, 7 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Hello, anybody interested in taking the recent developments in provenance research into account? Here's a possible starting point:https://www.artnews.com/2019/06/11/african-art-repatriation-american-museums/ Munfarid1 (talk) 13:14, 12 June 2019 (UTC)Munfarid1Reply
