Stolen

By Webb, Jonathan

Subjects: Art thefts, Artistic Masterpiece

Description: "Told against a background of incredible wealth and privilege, 'Stolen' exlores the reasons that today's art world has become so attractive to both petty thieves and organized crime. It sheds light on the full extent of the trade in illicit antiquities: the collusion between unscrupulous dealers on the one hand and well-endowed museums and private collectors on the other. It also surveys the pioneering work that has been done worldwide to bring about the return of Holocaust art to the families of survivors"--Dust cover.
