Art of the Steal

An unmissable look at one of the art world s most fascinating controversies and a celebrated selection of the Toronto, New York and AFI Film Festivals, Don Argott s gripping documentary THE ART OF THE STEAL chronicles the long and dramatic struggle for control of the Barnes Foundation, a private collection of art valued at more than 25 billion. In 1922, Dr. Albert C. Barnes formed a remarkable educational institution around his priceless collection of art, located just five miles outside of Philadelphia.
