The Art of the Steal
I’m a recent convert to Netflix. We’ve had it about 4 months now. It’s a bit of a blessing and a curse. A curse because there are better things to do than watching movies every night. A blessing because you get to see some gems on demand. I just finished watching The Art of the Steal, directed by Don Argott. The documentary tells the story of how the largest privately owned art collection (created and owned by Albert Barnes) was stolen by the city of Philadelphia and the Pew Charitable Trust. Watching the documentary I was amazed by how happy these money loving people were at doing the exact opposite of what Barnes put in his will for the Art that he owned. If you’re a Netflix person I highly recommend watching this, even if your not interested in art.
