The Art Thief by Michael Finkel
4.0
I have some things! To! Say! On this on
Wow i had this whole wall of text condoning the theft of art and especially the acts of Stephanie breitwieser.
Because anyone who has a basic love for old masters would never subject them to any harm (transportation being stuffed in his dragon hoard which no matter how much he said he climate controlled we know is not the case. )
The destruction of those pieces was so devastating to me i just can’t breathe.
But in the last 3 min there was a mention of this man who found a hidden passage of books covered in bird droppings and ruined and restored them all 1000 toams in his apartment
And idk its so hard to say black and white
Just want the pieces kept safe and treasured as they should be
And though breitwieser says he keeps his pieces in better than museum quality; the warping, the under the bed stuffing, then super glue (ahh) all encompassing varnish- that poor priceless wood panel, pieces of history, things that are rare and beautiful and singular-
All will haunt my dreams tonight.
Then the others who survived just being there-
Burnt and thrown into rivers and off road sides and shredded.
one of a kind pieces,
Its enough to tip a car over about.
Alas, on to my next book what a cool one to start the year off with!
