THE ART OF THE STEAL @PHILBROOK



We are partnering again with our friends at Circle Cinema for another great screening.

What happens when political and financial bigwigs covet the celebrated art collection of the Barnes Foundation? In the early twentieth century, Dr. Albert C. Barnes amassed the greatest collection of Impressionist, Post-impressionist, and early Modern artwork in America. His will stipulated that the works could never be loaned or sold – but that didn’t stop powers that be from scheming to take over the cultural institution. Follow the intrigue and struggle for control of the Barnes Foundation in this engrossing documentary.
