The Gardner Heist
By Ulrich Boser
Archival Summary & Scope
The riveting story of the 1990 Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum robbery in Boston, the largest unsolved art theft in history. On March 18, 1990, two thieves stole a dozen masterpieces, including works by Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Degas. Valued at up to $500 million, none of the stolen art has ever been recovered, making it one of the nation's most extraordinary cold cases. Reporter Ulrich Boser picks up the investigation, delving into the Boston underworld to explore unfinished leads and encounter a remarkable cast of characters, from rock 'n' roll art thieves to rhyming gangsters.
