F o r thousa nds of y ears, w e have embellished the w orld with a rt, creating a vast t reasury using stone, w ood, m etal, p igments, a nd other mat erials. Th e urge t o creat e art is one of the fun damental impulses of humanity . It is impossible to kno w how m uch art has been crea ted, l et alone how muc h of th is has disappeared. Th is book t akes the read er on an intriguing tr ail acro ss the globe in sear ch of a rt that we kno w has been plundered, d amaged, s tolen, d eliberat ely destr oyed, o r simply lost, i ts fate undocumented. S panning some ve millennia, i t provides a glimpse of the van ished achievements of ancient artisans, Old Masters, M odernists and Post- Modernists, a nd some of the avant- garde art ists of t oday . Art the from mu seums and private c ollections is a highly lucrati ve crime, n etting billions of dollars every year . T here is also a brisk trade i n forg eries, w ith half of the art works oe red fo r sale each ye ar believe d to be f akes. F rom t ime to t ime, w orks of art are f ound, u sually t hrough t he work of do gged art detectives but sometimes purely by chance . I n 2017, Les Choristes , a work by French Impressionist painter Edgar Degas t hat had been stolen nine years e arlier , w as foun d in the luggage compart ment of a bus. Such nds are rare, b ut we con tinue to hope that som e of th e lost masterpieces of the w orld will be discove red, b ringing joy and inspirat ion to all who see t hem.
