Art Crime: Forgers, Thieves, and Everything in Between

This three-part class will address multiple issues, while using tons of examples, photographs and hard data to prove what is fiction and what is real life art criminality.  In the first session, participants will discuss the main dynamics of art crime, fakes, and vandalism and iconoclasm. Then they'll take a look at museum thefts, and finish up by exploring archaeological looting in the third session.  Come along for three evenings on organized criminals, tomb looters, forgers, thieves, vandals and other artful villains.
