Member Book Club: The Art Thief

Member Book Club Returns!— Michael Finkel, “The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime and a Dangerous Obsession”

The in-person event is sold out.
You can still enjoy the program virtually from home.

Presented by the St. Louis County Library in partnership with the Museum.

Bestselling author Michael Finkel presents one of the most remarkable true-crime narratives of the twenty-first century: the story of the world’s most prolific art thief, Stéphane Breitwieser. Possessed with remarkable athleticism and an innate ability to circumvent practically any security system, Breitwieser carried out more than two hundred heists over nearly eight years. Yet these strange talents bred a growing disregard for risk and an addict’s need to score—until one final act of hubris brought everything crashing down. This is a riveting story of art, crime, love, and an insatiable hunger to possess beauty at any cost.
