Some art crime news for the holiday

...and gratitude for those who paid the highest sacrifice.

Wishing you a peaceful day of remembrance for the men and women who sacrificed their lives for our nation. There’s no greater gift a person can give than their life, and handing it over to secure freedom for one’s family and countrymen is something deserving of our highest respect and deepest gratitude.

Here are a few art crime headlines:

Bridget Rollason writes about Italy’s Caribinieri Art Squad.

Emery Veilleux reports on how a Taos museum got its stolen art back 40 years after it was stolen (as I always say—IT HAPPENS!)

John Krasinski and Natalie Portman star in a streaming art heist movie titled The Fountain of Youth (points off for referring to a stolen painting by El Greco as having come from the Gardner Museum).

And another art heist movie is out. This one, The Mastermind, has received good advance notice.
