The Rescue Artist: A True Story of Art, Thieves, and the Hunt for a Missing Masterpiece | 
pick⭐⭐⭐⭐
A really fun book! Charles Hill is the perfect character to anchor this #Nonfiction account of how one man led the charge to recover The Scream. It reads like a sophisticated art heist movie script! #action #adventure #art
The author also points out the ineptitude of the people responsible for The Scream. They will frustrate you more than anyone else in this book.
Highly Recommend!

Started listening to this #Nonfiction #audiobook about masterpiece art, theft, and #Mystery
Started listening to this while driving in PA today. Part art crime, part art history, ALL INTERESTING. This book specifically revolves around the theft of Edvard Munch‘s “The Scream.”
I can‘t believe how many classic paintings are missing in action, this is fascinating.

Shakespeare's penmanship is irrelevant to his art; Rembrandt's way with a brush IS his art.
The Storm on the Sea of Galilee, 1633. The painting is still missing from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (Boston) after a theft in 1990.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn.
I think hubby and I had a good kid-free "mini-staycation" weekend ?. Checked out three new-to-us brewpubs, saw a movie (Dunkirk ?), got to visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art (for free!), and I got tempted by all these art crime books --took pics for TBR reference but didn't buy any.
