While this documentary tells only one side of a tale, imo--- I'm not a big "conspiracy guy" by trade, but...

It is at once incredibly well-argued and simply beyond fascinating.

Profoundly so.

I am so pissed at Gov. Ed Rendell (PA) --What a fucking crook. He is Philly's former mayor, btw

I got 5 bucks that says he is on the board of the Pew foundation within 6 months of leaving office. You will understand this prediction after you watch the documentary.

The Barnes foundation is something I would imagine most are unfamiliar with. Watch the trailer...

You GOTTA watch this, regardless of any interest you might have in art. Must-see TV, imo.

Sigh...i don't get showtime.


er, is there a book?

There is no book. There IS a book called, "The art of the steal." It is about Sotheby's and Christies- Not the same thing.

The video is out, but is presently quite expensive.

You can check out this link to get a better idea of just what the hell is going on here in Pennsylvania. This is not a local story...

We are talking about probably the most "important" privately-held collection of art in the world. As I said, profoundly fascinating, and the assigned value of the collection of 25 billion (yes, that's a "b") is considered by most as incredibly CONSERVATIVE. This is the "good stuff."
