The Art of the Steal, the documentary about the Barnes Foundation’s eminent move into Philadelphia, is finally being screened in Chicago!
The movie has gotten mixed reviews, mostly due to its apparent one-sided presentation of the situation at the Barnes. Some good reviews can be found at the NY Times, the LA Times, and at the always-a-great-read Art Law Blog (more a discussion than a review).
I’ll be checking out the movie this weekend with my friend from Just Get Floury (she has a fabulous blog, btw, and is much better at updating than me!), along with some of the members of the newly-founded DePaul Art and Cultural Heritage Legal Society. I’ll be posting my take on the movie next week.
