520    "The art world is one of the most secretive of global 
       businesses, and the list of its crimes runs long and deep.
       Today, with prices in the hundreds of millions for 
       individual artworks, and billionaires' collections among 
       the most conspicuous and liquid of their assets, crime is 
       more rampant than ever in this largely unregulated 
       universe. Increased prices and globalization have 
       introduced new levels of fraud and malfeasance into the 
       art world--everything from "artnapping," in which an 
       artwork is held hostage and only returned for a ransom, to
       forgery and tax fraud. However, the extent of the economic
       and cultural damage that results from criminality in the 
       global art scene rarely comes to light. The stories of 
       high-stakes, brazen art crimes told by art experts Stefan 
       Koldehoff and Tobias Timm are by turns thrilling, 
       disturbing, and unbelievable (the imagination for using 
       art to commit crimes seems boundless). The authors also 
       provide a well-founded analysis of what needs to change in
       the art market and at museums. From the authors of False 
       Pictures, Real Money (about the Beltracchi art forgery 
       case), Art and Crime includes a chapter on art owned by 
       Donald Trump. It is a thoroughly researched, explosive, 
       and highly topical book that uncovers the extraordinary 
       and multifarious thefts of art and cultural objects around
       the world"--|cProvided by publisher.
