Description
A spellbinding portrait of obsession and flawed genius, The Art Thief is a gripping true story of art, crime, and an insatiable hunger to possess beauty at any cost. Stéphane Breitwieser, a master thief, carried out over 200 audacious heists over nearly ten years, stealing more than 300 objects from museums and cathedrals across Europe. With a remarkable appreciation for art and an innate ability to assess security systems, Breitwieser's talents bred a growing disregard for risk, leading him to ignore his girlfriend's pleas to stop - until one final act of hubris brought everything crashing down. This riveting tale explores the true story of an art collector who went to extreme lengths to expand his personal collection, and the thrill of the heist that kept him going.
