Join us as we discuss "The Art Thief: A Story of Love, Crime, and Dangerous Obession" by Michael Finkel.

Stéphane Bréitwieser is the most prolific art thief of all time. He pulled off more than 200 heists, often in crowded museums in broad daylight. His girlfriend served as his accomplice. His collection was worth an estimated $2 billion. He never sold a piece, displaying his stolen art in his attic bedroom. He felt like a king... until everything came to a shocking end. In this spellbinding portrait of obsession and flawed genius, Michael Finkel gives us one of the most remarkable true-crime narratives of our times, a riveting story of an insatiable hunger to possess beauty at any cost.

No registration required. We hope to see you there!
