Brandis said that the decision to buy the statue for $5 million in February 2008 was \u201cincautious\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe due diligence standards of the NGA which are very high, in fact are world\u2019s best practice, were not in my view sufficiently complied with on this particular occasion,\u201d he was quoted as saying. Allan defended the gallery\u2019s procedures, including its failure to contact the previous owners of objects it purchased from Kapoor.<\/p>\n<p>Kapoor is being tried in India on charges of smuggling ancient art works.\u00a0 The gallery also purchased a number of other Indian artefacts from Kapoor, including a stone sculpture of the God Ardhanarishvara for $300,000 in 2004 and which was also allegedly stolen from a temple.<\/p>\n<p>However, the gallery\u2019s director Michael Brand indirectly criticised the lax procedures of the gallery under his predecessor Edmund Capon, who presided over the purchase of several items from Kapoor between 1994 and 2004.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: IANS)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Gallery of Australia is refusing to return the dancing Shiva statue it purchased for $5 million from an Indian-origin antiquities dealer despite evidence that it was stolen from an Indian temple, according to IANS.
