Benin bronzes: looted treasures will return to Nigeria at last
b'This week: Germany announces that its museums will send the Benin bronzes back to Nigeria: will other nations follow? We talk to Catherine Hickley, who broke the story of Germany\\u2019s planned restitution of the bronzes in The Art Newspaper this week, and to Dan Hicks, whose book The Brutish Museums tells the story of British colonial destruction and looting that led to the bronzes\\u2019 collection by museums across the world. Also: a Van Gogh painting which had never been exhibited has just been sold at auction. We ask The Art Newspaper\\u2019s Martin Bailey about the painting and discuss his latest Van Gogh blog, about the tragic lives of Vincent\\u2019s sisters. And in this episode\\u2019s Work of the Week, the artist Rana Begum talks about Always Now (1981), by the painter Tess Jaray.
