Looking at the Khmer artifacts that Weschler’s auctioneers in the USA have handled

Khmer Art Overseas: Looking at the Khmer artifacts that Weschler’s auctioneers in the USA have handled, in 2013 they sold a headless Uma torso which caught my attention as it had earlier been with disgraced New York dealer Doris Weiner, who’d sold it in 1985 for USD22,500. Weschler’s moved from Washington to Rockville, Maryland in 2017 and a couple of years later sold three Khmer artifacts which had been sold sixteen years earlier at a Christie’s auction and obviously bought by the same private collector. Where they are today is anyone’s guess, though without any published historical provenance, I can only surmise they were removed from Cambodia illegally and should be repatriated by their current owners, if they are legitimate antiquities.
