Cultural property of
Egypt provided examples of three different types of cultural security. In
conservation, the Tourism and Antiquities Police intervened to halt occupation
of the Islamic site of Istabl Antar in Al-Fustat. In foreign relations, Israel
and Egypt negotiated the return of two sarcophagi lids, which had been smuggled
early in 2011. In markets, the Minister of Antiquities worked with UNESCO
towards criminalizing copying of Egyptian antiquities. In the worldwide
political economy of art, announcements and reports depicted cross-cultural
promotion of cultural heritage. The Seoul art fair in September will feature
Latin art, the Toronto art fair in October will feature Asian art, and London
is the center of a growing global market for Islamic art.
