The Art of Obsession: The Stéphane Breitwieser Story

Stéphane Breitwieser conducted a massive seven-year crime spree, stealing over 200 works of art valued between $1.4 and $2 billion from small museums across Europe. Driven by an aesthetic obsession rather than financial gain, he and his girlfriend surreptitiously removed these treasures to display them in a private hoard within his mother's attic. His actions eventually led to his arrest and the destruction of the collection by his mother, who threw silver objects into a stream and allegedly burned the invaluable paintings to hide evidence of his crimes.
