Overview
In this course, students will study the history of art crime and its impact upon contemporary society. They will also examine how art can be protected and recovered including techniques of provenance research. The history and psychology of collecting and the unusual mechanics of the art trade make the art world an ideal victim (and sometimes partner) for criminals.
