An un-missable look at one of the art world's most fascinating controversies and a celebrated selection of the Toronto, New York and AFI Film Festivals, Don Argott's gripping documentary
THE ART OF THE STEAL chronicles the long and dramatic struggle for control of the Barnes Foundation, a private collection of art valued at more than $25 billion.
"A terrifically suspenseful and enlightening art-world documentary in which the forces of art and money square off with primal ferocity."
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
"A riveting - and tragic - documentary... It's a classic story of destroying the village in order to save it."
Christopher Knight, The Los Angeles Times
