Review:
Jonathan Webb is an award-winning journalist, novelist, and editor and the author of Pluck. He lives in Guelph, Ontario. Julian Radcliffe is the chairman of the Art Loss Register, an organization that assists in art recovery around the world; a member of the Order of the British Empire; and the author of Museum of the Missing.
"This fabulous book is a must-read for any art lover." —Hello! magazine on Museum of the Missing
"In this breezily readable volume, [Houpt] introduces us to famous art thieves and their exploits, along with concise portraits of the detectives who try to catch them. He also provides a partial catalog of famous stolen art, although some of the works in it – such as Munch's "The Scream" – have since been recovered." —The Chicago Sun Times on Museum of the Missing
"Museum of the Missing, a history of art theft, makes for fascinating if depressing reading. Houpt covers notorious heists like the 1990 St. Patrick's Day looting of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston (a Vermeer and three Rembrandts are among the items still missing), art theft in time of war and flamboyant art detectives like Harold J. Smith. Art theft, Houpt reports, is big business." —Houston Chronicle
