A Prolific Art Thief Who Kept What He Stole

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Aug 10, 2023

A new book tells the story of one of the most prolific art thieves in history, who, rather than selling the art he stole, kept it all on display in secret rooms. Stéphane Breitwieser was eventually caught, but not before he stole more than 300 artworks worth an estimated $2 billion. Author Michael Finkel joins us to discuss the story and his new book, The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession.
