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>
具體描述
讀後感
如果再有一位性感的美女 一部漂亮的电影需要的元素就齐了 原来蒙克的《呐喊》有四幅 原来1994丢失的那幅被面是草稿 原来右下角有烛泪 原来脸部还有修改过 知道了很多源于艺术品的趣闻 还有很多犯罪心理学方面的东西 很好的纪实小说
評分“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...
評分听起来很荒唐，博物馆的贵重展品竟然可以称为最容易偷盗的物品之一。有时候抢劫也行。博物馆的安保措施从来很差，保险买的也不足够。即便丢失了展品，由于要耗费太多的时间和金钱，进行太多的谋划，动用太多的人力，很多情况下警方搜寻也不积极。毕竟没有死人，很多展品丢失了...
評分这本书的扉页正面是这样写的： 站在钢丝上才是生活 其他一切都只是候场 ——卡尔·瓦兰达 然后，翻到扉页背面，最下面写的是： 卡尔·瓦兰达，世界著名杂技演员，在表演时坚决不系安全带。1970年卡尔·瓦兰达在一次高空表演中因风速过高，从37米处坠落丧生。 ...
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...
