Today: Lothar Osterburg’s worlds of longing, Chantal Joffe’s self-portraits as an empty-nester of late, and a close look at an extremely rare Wu-Tang Clan album that’s about to go on display at an Australian museum.

In the news, the Cleveland Museum of Art returns a 2,200-year-old Ptolemaic statue to Libya, while the FBI investigates the potential sale of objects that were stolen from the British Museum in London.
