Jerome M. Eisenberg

Jerome M. Eisenberg (July 6, 1930 – July 6, 2022) was an American dealer in illegally looted antiquities. He had a son. Eisenberg died in July 2022 of pneumonia in a hospital in Manhattan, New York, at the age of 92.

Antiquities handled by Eisenberg ended up in major museum collections like the Getty, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago.

He also published scholarship in art history such as "Indian and South-East Asian art from the Alsdorf collection" (Minerva, 8, no. 5, Sept./Oct. 1997: 15–18), and also provided appraisals.

He was also a key person in illegally marketing and selling of looted valuable historical artifacts through his gallery in Manhattan, exported from Turkey, including the Bubon bronzes, which were eventually returned to Turkey in 2025.
