Film Screening: 'The Thief Collector'
Reserve your front row seat to the hometown premiere of 'The Thief Collector'!
Currently screening in major film festivals, the documentary takes a close look at the brazen theft of "Woman-Ochre" from the University of Arizona Museum of Art. It explores the complicated dynamics of family, how a mild-mannered couple could have pulled one of the greatest art heists of a generation, and just how far people's grandiose narratives might take them.
Background: "Woman-Ochre" is a famous painting by abstract expressionist Willem de Kooning and among the most prized works in the UAMA collection. In 1985, it vanished into the Arizona desert after being cut from its frame. Three decades later, the missing painting was found hanging in the home of a deceased couple in rural New Mexico.
