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. In 1922, Dr. Albert C. Barnes formed a remarkable educational institution around his priceless collection of art, located just five miles outside of Philadelphia. Now, more than 50 years after Barnes’ death, a powerful group of moneyed interests have gone to court for control of the art, and intend to bring it to a new museum in Philadelphia. Standing in their way is a group of Barnes’ former students and his will, which contains strict instructions stating the Foundation should always be an educational institution, and that the paintings may never be removed. Will they succeed, or will a man’s will be broken and one of America’s greatest cultural monuments be destroyed?

《窃取艺术电影网友评论》

私人收藏的眼光如果只能到自己关起门来欣赏这一步的话结果就是这样一场闹剧。尤其如果像Barnes这样藏品明明是从当年沙龙里走出来的现代艺术，现在反而关起门来自己看就更可笑了。他的学生更搞笑像被Barnes洗脑了一样。DavidDarcy说的真好没有conservation的话东西都坏了放在哪儿还有什么用呢。

看的特别难过，本来一直对用Foucault的理论研究博物馆里的权力系统持怀疑态度，但是看着艺术品最后一步步沦为了政治筹码不得不怀疑人生……如果说名家名作被政客看上了有利用价值，副产品还顺便福泽大众的话，那Artforart'ssake是不是最悲伤的事了……

大反转，复仇成功，连警察的人从出狱就已经被买通了。策划了多久的犯罪啊，，，十年磨一剑啊。

＂反派＂角色基本都拒绝了采访，留下一部残缺的观点在这影片中！小失望=^=

二战后，对艺术作品的最大偷盗掠夺，贪婪是根源。

只能愤怒于人的贪婪

权力的战争
