This book offers a revealing look at the full scope of criminal
activity in the art world—a category of crime that is far more
pervasive than is generally realized. Forgeries, fakes, fencing,
and felony theft—all are pervasive problems in the world of art,
where the stakes are high, the networks wide, and the consequences
profound. In recent years, suspicious acquisitions, unreliable
provenances, and shady dealers have found their way into the
headlines as museums and private collections have been confronted
with everything from fake pieces to stolen antiquities to plain old
theft and vandalism. Crimes of the Art World captures the full
scope of this staggeringly lucrative field of criminal conduct,
showing how its impact reaches well beyond the walls of the museum.
Filled with fascinating stories of crime and greed, this revealing
volume looks at case after case of thefts, forgeries, fakes, and
illicit trafficking, as well as the political/religious
victimization of art, white-collar art crime, and vandalism. The
book examines each type of crime in terms of frequency, losses, and
characteristics of victims and criminals. Concluding chapters focus
on preventive measures, art crime investigation, and security
issues.
