In 2022, an Athenian red-figured cup attributed to Makron was returned to Italy by New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. The cup had been acquired in fragments, through purchase and gift, from multiple sources over several years, starting with two fragments from the restorer Fritz Bürki in 1978. A second cup, also attributed to Makron, was acquired in a parallel way. The sources for the fragments from both cups point to galleries collectors and donors – Summa Galleries, Frieda Tchachos, Elizabeth Hecht, and Dietrich von Bothmer – who have been associated with other material that has been repatriated to Italy in recent years. It is suggested that some of the incised ‘signatures’ by Hieron that are found on cups attributed to Makron may have been applied since antiquity.

拼凑出一对马克龙杯子碎片的故事

2022 年，纽约大都会艺术博物馆将一个归属于马克龙的雅典红色图案杯子归还给意大利。该杯子是几年来通过购买和礼物从多个来源获得的碎片，首先是 1978 年修复者 Fritz Bürki 的两块碎片。第二个杯子也归属于马克龙，以平行方式获得。两个杯子碎片的来源都指向画廊收藏家和捐赠者——Summa Galleries、Frieda Tchachos、Elizabeth Hecht 和 Dietrich von Bothmer——他们与近年来被运回意大利的其他材料有关。有人认为，在马克龙杯子上发现的 Hieron 的一些雕刻“签名”可能自古以来就已被使用。
