This magazine is no stranger to art crime. Throughout its 114-year history, various thieves, forgers, looters, and all-around art-world ne’er-do-wells have provided ample fodder for feature articles. (In 1966 longtime editor and publisher of ARTnews Milton Esterow published the widely admired The Art Stealers, a compendium of what were at the time the world’s biggest thefts.) For our Summer 2016 quarterly issue, with its noirish cover specially created by artist Walter Robinson, we have gone beyond crimes against art to explore art’s broader intersection with crime of various sorts. In these pages you’ll not only find M. H. Miller’s report on the Knoedler trial and its aftermath, Barbara Pollack’s interview with an agent in the FBI’s Art Squad, and Sylvia Hochfield’s look at new methods for weeding out fakes and forgeries of Russian avant-garde paintings from museum collections, you will also encounter ARTnews co-executive editor Andrew Russeth’s examination of the long tradition of the artist as criminal, from Cellini to Cattelan, and Greg Allen’s meditation on the mysterious disappearance of a Jasper Johns flag painting from a Robert Rauschenberg Combine. Phoebe Hoban interviews court illustrators—artists in their own right—about their experiences depicting high-profile trials, and Andrew Marzoni meanders through the history of the Hollywood art-heist film, a genre unto itself, and a suitably dramatic and highly visual foray into a realm at once vivid and murky.
