This meticulously researched, landmark book is the first to look at an often hidden part of New Zealand's art history and cultural landscape- art crime. It encompasses theft, forgery, fraud, smuggling and vandalism.
Penelope Jackson is a prominent New Zealand art historian and frequent public speaker. She worked at the Tauranga Art Gallery from its inception, first as curator, then as director, until 2015. She is a founding member of the NZ Art Crime Research Trust, which presented the inaugural New Zealand Art Crime Research Symposium at Wellington's City Gallery on September 19, 2015.
“Jackson has pursued all manner of research trails that have included local and international interviews, and detective work in galleries and auction houses, and in front of paintings . . . The book is absolutely fascinating.” —Paula Green, Sunday Star-Times
