The Art Thief
Episodes of The Art Thief are filled with fascinating interviews, news stories and documentaries that can’t be found anywhere else.

We want to bring insights and breathe new life into these places, pieces and stories of artists to help them become more broadly appreciated. Forget the obscure, ArtSpeak, stodgy academic lectures, and pretentious interpretations that have only distanced public interest, and created exclusive markets for the elite. We get to the guts of what’s really happening, pulling no punches and willing to spend endless hours for this purpose. We want to bring our vision to each episode to make this dream a reality.
