One if the best documentaries I've seen, great story about Mr Barnes art collection and how it was stole from politicians and power people, sad to see how it all went down
Brilliant, engaging, and infuriating

This is a "must see" documentary. Prepare to be amazed, encouraged, discouraged, and engaged!
If The Godfather was set in the art world...

This film is a fresh, intriguing and infuriating look not just at how a man's art collection is taken away from him, but at the ruthlessness of government agencies and not-for-profit foundations alike. It's beautifully shot (the director is also the cinematographer; he has a GREAT eye) and moves like any good, taut Hollywood thriller. When I first saw "The Art of the Steal" I knew I had to own it. Do yourself a favor and check this film out! It will not disappoint.
Your blood will boil.
