Join us to discuss The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession by Michael Finkel
The astonishing story of Stéphane Breitwieser, a young Frenchman who carried out an audacious series of art thefts throughout Europe, stealing more than 300 objects from museums and galleries over a 10 year period. Rather than sell the stolen items, Breitwieser created a private gallery in his bedroom at his mother’s house where he could be near the objects that had captivated him. Finkel offers an astounding portrait of a remarkable crime spree and the obsessions that fueled it.
