A presentation on art theft. In an art museum. Why not, I thought.
Last night Late Night at the DMA hosted a full room in the auditorium for a presentation by Art Detective Robert Wittman. That was followed by two films, Stolen, a film about the 1995 heist at the Gardner Museum in Boston and F for Fake, the last major film completed by Orson Welles.
The highlight was certainly Priceless: How I Went Undercover to Rescue the World’s Stolen Treasures. Wittman is the founder of the FBI Art Crime Team and author of Priceless, which had sold out of the gift shop following the lecture.
