Movies @ the Library: The Thief Collector

September 27 – The Thief Collector – 93 minutes – documentary/crime

It was one of the most puzzling art thefts of a generation; In 1985, Willem de Kooning’s work, “Woman Ochre,” was sliced from its frame and stolen from the walls of an Arizona art museum. Over thirty years later, in a remote town in New Mexico, the $160 million dollar painting was rediscovered in the unlikeliest of places.  Please register online by clicking here, calling 668-3377, or stopping by our circulation desk
