Up For Grabs
A shocking theft puts museums on notice: No treasure is truly safe
Willie Sutton, a once celebrated American crook, was partly famous for
saying he robbed banks because thats where the money is. Actually,
museums are where the money is. Where else can you find so many
portable items of stupendous value within arms reach? In a single gallery
there can be canvases worth more, taken together, than a whole fleet of
jumbo jets. And while banks can hide their money in vaults, museums, by
their very mission, are compelled to put their valuables in plain sight.
So the theft last week of one of the worlds best known paintings was
discouraging news not only for anyone who cares about art but especially
for museum officials and gallery owners, who know how vulnerable their
treasures are. Nothing could be worse than the thought of a canvas as
important as The Scream, Edvard Munchs indelible image of a man howl-
ing against the backdrop of a blood-red sky, disappearing into a criminal
underworld that doesnt care much about the niceties of art conservation.
Art theft is a vast problem around the world. As many as 10,000 precious
items of all kinds disappear each year. And for smaller museums in par-
ticular, it may not be a problem they can afford to solve.
