The Getty Museum's famous statue of Aphrodite has gone home from the Villa in Malibu to a small town in Sicily, and the Getty, along with other US museums, no longer buys looted antiquities from a criminal underground. A new book tells the story of beauty, corruption and the waste of millions of dollars. We talk with one of the authors, a Getty spokesman and a well-known writer and blogger about the art world.
