Zoom | Available (Membership Required)
[NEW COURSE] Movies like The Thomas Crown Affair portray art theft as ingenious and sophisticated. Reality is usually quite different. We will examine thefts that have occurred over the last 100 years and attempt to answer a number of questions: How common is art theft? Is it profitable for the thief? If not for profit, why do people steal art? Do thieves act alone or are more thefts accomplished by teams? Are most stolen artworks found? And, of course, what do the Mona Lisa and The Scream have in common? Audio/Visual, Lecture
