Art of the Heist

The Disappeared (2x7)

Air date: Aug 30, 2010

In 1980, 16 Paintings and drawings & seven ancient pieces of art were stolen from the National Art Gallery in Buenos Aires. This complex heist involved questionable charitable organisations, a Texan blonde and artworks that may have been used to fund the Falklands War. We are taken on a journey from London to Taiwan to Buenos Aires in search of a mouth watering collection including Cezanne,Degas,Renoir and Matisse.
