On Monday, the 23rd anniversary of the theft from Boston's IsabellaStewartGardnerMuseum, authorities announced a new campaign aimed at generating tips.
In the book, Alan Chong, who today is the director of Boston's IsabellaStewartGardnerMuseum, gives an engaging account of Gutekunst and Berenson's complex, sometimes devious, dealings with the very rich and art-hungry Mrs Gardner.
It's an arrangement that recalls Boston's IsabellaStewartGardnerMuseum with its new entrance pavilion by Renzo Piano, which now houses all the necessary but distracting museum functions such as ticketing and coat check to ensure that once inside the Venetian palazzo you are able to focus exclusively on art and taste.
