About this Event

, by Michael Finkel, is a propulsive true-crime tale of Stéphane Breitwieser, the art-obsessed thief who lifted more than 200 masterpieces from museums in broad daylight—not for profit, but to live surrounded by stolen beauty, until love, jealousy, and a betrayal brought it all crashing down. Join us as we delve in.
