Art Heists: Inside the FBI’s Pursuit of Stolen Masterpieces
Former FBI special agent Robert Wittman led the FBI’s National Art Crime Team in tracking art thieves and recovering more than $300 million in stolen art. From Rembrandt’s self-portrait to North Carolina’s missing Bill of Rights, Wittman restored scores of priceless works and artifacts to their rightful venues over his 20-year career. Join Wittman as he discusses cases that have headlined his career including his undercover work to unravel the $500 million theft from the Isabella Gardner Museum in Boston, considered the biggest art heist of the century.
