Nancy Wiener

Nancy Wiener is an antiquities dealer who pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy and possession of stolen property.[1][2]

Art dealing

Daughter of art dealer Doris Wiener (d. April 6, 2011), Nancy Wiener also worked as an art dealer in New York.[1][3][4]


A joint federal and state investigation into antiquities trafficking known as "Hidden Idol" resulted in the criminal lawsuit People of the State of New York v. Nancy Wiener, No. SCI-05191-2016 (N.Y. Crim. Ct. filed Dec. 21, 2016). [5]

Wiener was arrested in Manhattan December 2016 and charged with conspiring with international smuggling and trafficking looted objects.[6][7][8] Her gallery sold art to clients including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Los Angeles County Museum, Art Institute of Chicago and National Gallery of Australia.[9][10][11][12]

False provenance for looted art

Wiener acknowledged in court that she used fake provenances to conceal the true origins of the looted objects.[1] She was ordered to pay $1.2 million in forfeitures and fines.[13]

Restitutions to India and other countries

Numerous antiquities that passed through Doris and Nancy Wiener have been restituted to India following criminal investigations.[14][15][16] Cultural heritage artworks looted from Cambodia and Myanmar have also been investigated and in some cases returned.[17][18][19]

In 2014 questions arose about a prized item in the NGA collection: a 2nd century Kushan period Seated Buddha from southern India bought in 2007 from a New York dealer, Nancy Wiener, for $US1.08m. Unable to allay the NGA's concerns, Wiener agreed to return the money. Together they donated the Seated Buddha to the Indian government. In 2016 Wiener was charged with dealing in stolen antiquities, including the Seated Buddha, finally pleading guilty in 2021. The indictment referred to "co-conspirator no 1", which the New York Times reported referred to Latchford.

The statue was given over in a repatriation ceremony attended by United States ambassador Keo Chhea and a member of the U.S. Homeland Security Investigations team. The district attorney's office of Alvin L. Bragg said the Cambodian statue was broken and looted from its original location under Wiener's direction. After restoration work was completed, the sandstone figure was smuggled into Manhattan through Thailand in 1995 and sold to a private collector.
