The Art Thief is an edgy name that celebrates our mission to take back the visual arts, and art history for greater appreciation, but real art theft is a serious problem that we want to be a part of stopping.


Reports of stolen art are becoming increasingly worse every decade.

These selfish acts rob the shared public of culture, history and learning, and only a small percentage of stolen art is ever recovered.


Please support public awareness of art theft and recovery.  A number of not-for-profit and private companies now act both to record information about losses around the world, and oversee recovery efforts for claimed works of art.  


Some of the most respected:


IFAR

Commission for Looted Art in Europe

Holocaust Claims Conference

Art Loss Register

Art Recovery Group



Skyrocketing art prices have motivated artnappers to heist museums and galleries for millions of dollars.
