Possession: The Curious History of Private… par Erin Thompson
While it's depressing to learn about the abuses of our cultural heritage by private collectors, the anecdotes the author shares are fascinating and often surprisingly funny. My favorite is the one about Henry Blundell boasting that he bought a statue of Hermaphrodite and had its penis cut off to make it a sleeping Venus. *cringe*
