Event Description
Find yourself riveted as author Michael Finkel talks about his New York Times bestselling book The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession, in which he describes the strange and fascinating world of master thief Stéphane Breitwieser who stole art from museums and cathedrals all over Europe - not for money, but for passion.
About the book: 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 girlfriend served as his accomplice. 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.
