Quick, what do the following artworks have in common – Michelangelo’s Mask of a Faun, Caravaggio’s Nativity, Rembrandt’s The Storm on the Sea of Galilee (his only seascape), Cézanne’s View of Auvers-sur-Oise and Van Gogh’s The Parsonage Garden at Nuenen in Spring? Answer: They’ve all been stolen and never recovered. Reading like a crime novel, Susie Hodge’s meticulously researched Art Heist follows the fate of 50 of the most valuable works ever swiped and answers some of the key questions behind each theft. Why and how was it stolen? Who steals it? Is it stolen to order? What attempts have been made to recover it? What do thieves do with it? Who buys it? In discussing each work individually to reveal why it and the artist who made it was significant, she also examines leads, exposes red herrings and names suspects.
