ArtDocs: Stolen
In March 1990, the Isabella Stewart Gardiner Museum in
Boston lost thirteen works of art, among them The Concert
by the 17th-century Dutch painter Jan Vermeer. Described
as the greatest art theft in American history, the daring robbery
is still unsolved. This documentary, written and
directed by Rebecca Dreyfus, follows an intrepid insurance
investigator named Harold Smith as he doggedly pursues
the many leads in the case. In addition to the contemporary
story, Dreyfus includes reflections on the importance of
the stolen works of art, and conveys the personality of the
museum’s flamboyant founder through readings from her
correspondence with her advisor, the famous Bernard
Berenson. Actors Blythe Danner and Campbell Scott portray
the voices of Mrs. Gardiner and Berenson. This film documents
an unpleasant fact of the art world and complements
the program described below.

Kingston WritersFest: talk by Joshua Knelman
The Art Centre is pleased to collaborate with the popular Kingston WritersFest (22 - 25 September) in this exciting event.
Join Joshua Knelman, award-winning writer with The Walrus, for an illustrated talk based on his startling new book Hot Art:
Thieves, Detectives and the International Game of Art Theft, an exposé of the international trade in stolen paintings and its key
players - the criminals, elite collectors, gallery owners, art dealers, and the art police who track cultural theft.
The event will be held in the Atrium of the Art Centre, but tickets must be obtained through the Kingston WritersFest.
Tickets go on sale 18 August at the Grand Theatre Box Office, online at kingstongrand.ca or by phone 613.530.2050. For author profiles
