The Mexican Embassy's Concern About the Legality of a Cell by French Auction House Art Curiel

In 2021, the Mexican Embassy in France expressed its deep concern about the legality of a cell by French auction house Art Curiel. Despite a petition signed by nearly 45,000 supporters trying to stop the cell, the Christie's auction went ahead and totaled over $3.5 million. The attempts to prevent pre-Columbian auctions have invigorated Mexico's call for the Pinachos return. It prompted a globally trending Twitter hashtag, me patrimonio nocivende, meaning, my heritage is not for sale.
