Ringkasan

Missing Art explores the shadowy world of stolen and lost masterpieces, revealing the hidden stories behind their disappearances and the ongoing efforts to recover them. The book delves into the motivations driving art theft, from economic incentives to historical circumstances, and examines the complex web of international law enforcement involved. Readers will discover how the absence of these artworks severs our connection to the past, diminishing our understanding of history and impoverishing our collective identity.

The book approaches the subject through a combination of detailed case studies, historical analysis, and legal examination. It traces the evolution of art crime from wartime looting, particularly Nazi-era plunder, to sophisticated modern heists, such as the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist. By examining the challenges of art recovery and the legal battles that ensue, Missing Art highlights the ethical implications of art ownership and the responsibility of collectors, museums, and governments in safeguarding cultural heritage.

It begins by introducing key concepts and culminates by urging readers to become more aware of threats and support efforts to protect and preserve art.
