ABOUT THE EVENT
The Fourth Wednesday Readers, Phoenixville Public Library’s in-house book discussion group for adults of all ages, will meet Wednesday, September 23, 1:00 PM at the Library. The group will discuss The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime and a Dangerous Obsession, by Michael Finkel. For centuries, works of art have been stolen in countless ways from all over the world, but no one has been quite as successful at it as the master thief Stéphane Breitwieser. Carrying out more than two hundred heists over nearly ten years-in museums and cathedrals all over Europe, Breitwieser, along with his girlfriend who worked as his lookout, stole more than three hundred objects, until it all fell apart in spectacular fashion.
