| AWI integrates
analyses of trends for sales of artworks, transfer of cultural
patrimony, and security in source nations to create risk assessments
for cultural patrimony. AWI integrates the following analyses
by nation.
1. market trends for moveable cultural patrimony
annual sales and trade volume of artworks (classical antiquities,
tribal art, ...) according to nation of origin
annual market value (average price of an artwork) of cultural
patrimony according to nation of origin
2. transfer of cultural patrimony
illicit transfer: plunder of national collections, looting
of cultural artifacts, and trafficking in artworks
recovery and repatriation: seizure by law enforcement and
customs agencies, initiatives for protection of cultural
patrimony, and returns of cultural property to source nations
3. security threats that, directly or indirectly, affect
cultural patrimony
organized crime, political violence, and armed conflict
that puts cultural patrimony at risk of looting, destruction,
or collateral damage
