The Art Thief by Michael Finkel

4.0

---

This book was fascinating. While the heists were super interesting, so too was the psychology of Breitwieser’s addiction and his relationship with art, his girlfriend, and his mother. I was also appreciative of the brief, yet informational glimpses into art history and why we covet these old oil paintings, sculptures, metalwork, and the like.
