Summary:
"The
art
world is one of the most secretive of global businesses, and the list of its crimes runs long and deep. Today, with prices in the hundreds of millions for individual artworks, and billionaires' collections among the most conspicuous and liquid of their assets,
crime
is more rampant than ever in this largely unregulated universe. Increased prices and globalization have introduced new levels of fraud and malfeasance into the
art
world -- everything from 'artnapping,' in which an artwork is held hostage and only returned for a ransom, to forgery and tax fraud. However, the extent of the economic and cultural damage that results from criminality in the global
art
scene rarely comes to light. The stories of high-stakes, brazen
art
crimes told by
art
experts Stefan Koldehoff and Tobias Timm are by turns thrilling, disturbing, and unbelievable (the imagination for using
art
to commit crimes seems boundless). The authors also provide a well-founded analysis of what needs to change in the
art
market and at museums. From the authors of False Pictures, Real Money (about the Beltracchi
art
forgery case),
Art
and
Crime
includes a chapter on
art
owned by Donald Trump. It is a thoroughly researched, explosive, and highly topical book that uncovers the extraordinary and multifarious thefts of
art
and cultural objects around the world."--Publisher.
