MUSEUM OF THE MISSING: THE HIGH STAKES OF ART CRIME

Book ID/图书代码： 08410507B12053

English Summary/英文概要： Imagine an extraordinary museum, each room filled with masterpieces by the world’s most celebrated geniuses – van Gogh, Picasso, Vermeer, Titian, Caravaggio, Botero, Renoir, da Vinci, Van Eyck and Cézanne among them. The collection showcased here is the largest of its kind in the world, and its value is incalculable. Any lover of art would pay dearly to gain admission, even for a day. Now, an unprecedented publishing project throws open the museum’s doors and takes readers on an art tour they’ll never forget. Welcome to the Museum of the Missing – a unique illustrated guide to the world’s stolen masterworks. And one of the most gripping crime books ever! According to Interpol records, artworks stolen and still missing number 22,517 – and that statistic continues to increase. What started as a looting of art and treasures by invading armies, including the Nazis during World World II, has exploded into a sophisticated international operation. But grand thefts are only part of this fascinating story. The book takes us behind the scenes at Scotland Yard, the FBI and Interpol as crack art-recovery squads mount surveillance operations and elaborate stings. And the author leads us into a tangled underworld of money laundering, drugs, illegal arms trading and terrorism, where the stakes for both sides are very high.
