The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession By: Michael Finkel
One of the most remarkable true-crime narratives of the twenty-first century • "The Art Thief, like its title character, has confidence, élan, and a great sense of timing."—The New Yorker
Stéphane Bréitwieser is the most prolific art thief of all time. He pulled off more than 200 heists, often in crowded museums in broad daylight.
His collection was worth an estimated $2 billion. He never sold a piece, displaying his stolen art in his attic bedroom.
He felt like a king. Until everything came to a shocking end.
In this spellbinding portrait of obsession and flawed genius, Michael Finkel gives us one of the most remarkable true-crime narratives of our times, a riveting story of art, theft, love, and an insatiable hunger to possess beauty at any cost.
