Der Spiegel Raises Doubts About Whether “Artemis” is Ancient

I’m passing on this link to you for what it’s worth, which may be nothing:
The German news magazine Der Spiegel, in an article by Matthias Schulz (posted online today), False Gods: ‘Ancient’ Forgeries Fool Art Markets, had this to say about “Artemis and the Stag” (or is it “Deer”?), sold by the Albright-Knox Gallery and now on loan to the Metropolitan Museum:
In a report Spiegel has obtained, Stefan Lehmann, an archaeologist from the eastern German city of Halle, raises doubts about the piece. He is troubled by the “unexpressive face and seemingly perfect condition” of the sculpture. At first glance, writes Lehmann, the sculpture reminds him of a “classical work from the period around 1800.”
Josef Floren, the German author of a handbook titled “The Greek Sculpture,” is also skeptical. The “box-shaped base” on which the goddess is standing seems “modern.” Floren is also perplexed by the clothing the young woman is wearing. “Something resembling a shawl or a veil is draped across her shoulders. No one in Rome walked around like that.”
Could comments like these spell the beginning of a major scandal in the art world?
Or could they just mean that some journalists and scholars like to stir up controversy?
