No Brush Required Reads - A discussion of the book "The Art Thief - A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession" by Michael Finkel.
We both found this book to be a fast and fascinating read. Trying to understand what compels someone to steal art and how they were able to get away with it for so long How a love of art and wanting to spend more time up close with it led to an historic crime spree that went undetected for several years and culminated in the theft of hundreds of works from over 150 different museums and galleries.
How would you feel if someone stole your art? Is it bad to steal art if your intent is pure? And what can galleries and museums learn from this thief.
We left the ending of the true story a mystery, so you can read the book and find out for yourself :-)
