In the predawn gloom of a February day in 1994, two thieves entered the National Gallery in Oslo. They snatched one of the world's most famous paintings, Edvard Munch's <em>The Scream</em>, and fled with their $72 million trophy. The thieves made sure the world was watching: the Winter Olympics, in Lillehammer, began that same morning. Baffled and humiliated, the Norwegian police called on the world's greatest art detective, a half-English, half-American undercover cop named Charley Hill.</p>
In this rollicking narrative, Edward Dolnick takes us inside the art underworld. The trail leads high and low, and the cast ranges from titled aristocrats to thick-necked thugs. Lord Bath, resplendent in ponytail and velvet jacket, presides over a 9,000-acre estate. David Duddin, a 300-pound fence who once tried to sell a stolen Rembrandt, spins exuberant tales of his misdeeds. We meet Munch, too, a haunted misfit who spends his evenings drinking in the Black Piglet Café and his nights feverishly trying to capture in paint the visions in his head. The most compelling character of all is Charley Hill, an ex-soldier, a would-be priest, and a complicated mix of brilliance, foolhardiness, and charm. The hunt for <em>The Scream</em> will either cap his career and rescue one of the world's best-known paintings or end in a fiasco that will dog him forever.</p>
爱德华·多尔尼克曾为《波士顿环球报》、《大西洋月刊》、《时代杂志》等报纸杂志撰稿,并有《进入伟大的未知世界》以及《睡椅上的疯狂》等多部著作。
“名画不过是镶了框的巨额支票”这句话是从书里摘的。 作者爱德华·多尔尼克认为,小偷对博物馆美术馆毫无兴致,除非偷东西的时候。而驱使他们起了这个念头的,除了在黑道里争得荣誉感、在媒体上争得头版头条,或者是用这个作为条件跟政府谈判歪,最大的驱动力就是钱。 梵高...
评分1994年2月12日一大早,两名男子在50秒内,用一架梯子就偷走了在挪威国家美术馆展出的、价值七千二百万美元的<呐喊>,爱德华·蒙克最出名的作品,容易得难以相信,甚至爬梯子时还搞笑地掉下来过一次。 本书围绕这次失窃,讲述了许多有关艺术名,尤其是名画失窃的历史、情景、内...
评分光听书名就够有趣的了,而且这还是一部严谨的纪实文学。 作者讲故事的能力一流棒,时而插叙时而倒叙,还用有趣的语言把每个人物的性格刻画的入木三分。 主人翁不用说了,一如我们所有警匪故事中的一样,非常聪明,富有个性。 只有盗匪跟我们一直被电视、电影、小说所引导的...
评分【呐喊】被偷了,在保安的眼皮低下……一个艺术品侦探的真实故事(不能多说,你们自己看,说了就不好玩了)。 另外一本书,也很有纪实风格,艺术品投资人自己揭露曾经参与的艺术品投资的内幕。 但是这些作家都不如丹·布朗,他们揭示真相,而他把谎言讲得跟真的一样,而且更...
评分从此书可以学习到,欧洲的博物馆、艺术馆之类的保安设备很落后,但是人家很实在,展出的都是真东西!所以才有这么搞笑的偷盗史…… 所以还是应该向中国的博物馆学习啊!上海博物馆里全是复制品,一般没有谁会去偷只有10岁年龄的尿壶的吧……
