Bella Rosenthal““The Art Thief” is an incredibly told story written by Michael Finkel. This book details one of the largest art thefts in history as a couple stole over 200 works from different museums across Europe. It is a harrowing tale of love, betrayal, and obsession with art. This book encapsulated me as a lover of art can truly understand the thief’s perspective.”
