Description

The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession The world's most prolific art thief, Stéphane Breitwieser, pulled off over 200 daring heists in nearly a decade, leaving behind a trail of stolen masterpieces and a single room filled with his treasured possessions. Breitwieser's remarkable athleticism and ability to assess security systems made him a master thief, but his addiction to the thrill of the heist ultimately led to his downfall. This riveting story of art, crime, and obsession reveals the strange and fascinating world of a man driven by an insatiable hunger to possess beauty at any cost. Michael Finkel brings us into Breitwieser's world, a world of breathtaking audacity and reckless abandon, where the line between art and crime is blurred.
