Genre: Documentary
Director: Don Argott
Studio: IFC Films

Plot:
An un-missable look at one of the art world's most fascinating controversies and a celebrated selection of the Toronto, New York and AFI Film Festivals, Don Argott's gripping documentary THE ART OF THE STEAL chronicles the long and dramatic struggle for control of the Barnes Foundation, a private collection of art valued at more than $25 billion.

In 1922, Dr. Albert C. Barnes formed a remarkable educational institution around his priceless collection of art, located just five miles outside of Philadelphia. Now, more than 50
years after Barnes' death, a powerful group of moneyed interests have gone to court for control of the art, and intend to bring it to a new museum in Philadelphia. Standing in their way is a group of Barnes' former students and his will, which contains strict instructions stating the Foundation
should always be an educational institution, and that the paintings may never be removed. Will they succeed, or will a man's will be broken and one of America's greatest cultural monuments be destroyed?

People talk about this being the fault of the Democrats/Liberals, blablabla...

It is a money issue, Barns collected and paid for his collection so it is his propety, to do with as he pleases, he invested HIS money and HIS time....

If his collection was not worth a damn they would have left it alone.

It is about ticket prices, cold hard cash...all politicians (left or right) will say it i for the people....anything any politician or government does is for themselves.

Wake up...you are being used

We the people? You & I working hard to achieve the American dream....

The United States Government & it's enforcers, the police? They uphold the hidden law which only the rich & powerful abide by. They can steal, barter, even murder & no one is held accountable. And if someone is it's usually a "Fall Guy." Trust me it won't be one of the rich elite going to jail. In my county the mayor & his business partners do as they please. Re-zone so they can take property. The rich are the true criminals.
