STORYLINE
Art Crime is an industry worth billions of pounds, with around 47,000 works of art reported missing each year. Yet it’s a world glimpsed only occasionally, in fleeting news headlines when valuable works vanish or – even more rarely – when they reappear. But it is a story of our times: of desire, money, and of humanity’s undying love affair with beautiful works of art. In this fascinating documentary Alastair Sooke investigates heists involving some of the world’s most valuable works of art.
