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>

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...
評分这不是旅行,不是巡展,是艺术品在黑夜、后车厢、储物柜、流氓、骗子、奸商、河流中的冒险,是继毒品买卖、军火走私之后的第三大国际黑市贸易。 博物馆,尤其藏有珍品的那些,总是戒备森严吗?他们用红外线感应?角落里都是隐蔽的探头?或者启动了某个装置整个博物馆都会自动封...
評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……

評分这本书解释了好多艺术犯罪及破案的最基本独特之处。 1. 艺术犯罪的简单。博物馆是公共事业,经费短缺,博物馆保安力量脆弱而业余,况且博物馆的责任不是把价值最高的资产保存好,而是给尽可能多的人看到。在超大型的博物馆,很少人光顾的展室会很容易得手,比如卢浮宫。私人藏...
