Countless dollars of art are stolen or looted every year, yet
governments often consider art theft a luxury problem. With limited
public law enforcement, what prevents thieves, looters and
organised criminal gangs from flooding the market with stolen art?
How can theft victims get justice - even decades after their loss?
What happens if the legal definition of a good title is at odds
with what is morally right? Enter the Art Loss Register, a private
database dedicated to tracking down stolen artworks. Blocking the
sale of disputed artworks creates a space for private resolutions -
often amicable and sometimes entertainingly adversarial. This book
is based on ten cases from the Art Loss Register's archive, showing
how restitutions were negotiated, how priceless objects were
retrieved from the economic underworld and how thieves and fences
end up in court and behind bars. A fascinating guide to the dark
side of the global art market.
