In the past three days, we have located two paintings from a famous collection that was stolen by the Nazis. One of them in particular is worthy of a movie. Soon more...

Apparently these are the thieves getting away with the French Crown Jewels at the Louvre

I was invited to the Netherlands' number 1 talk show, Eva Jinek, to join the legendary Dan Brown at the table to discuss his new book. What an honor and what a fantastic evening! He also signed his book and gave me the most beautiful compliment I’ve ever received (see photo).

Of this painting by Picasso, Dora Maar, only a black-and-white photo was known. The work has resurfaced, and now we can finally see it in color. It will be auctioned at Drouot auction house. It reminds me of the stolen Dora Maar which I recovered in 2019.

The painting by Ghislandi, stolen and smuggled to Argentina after World War II by Nazi criminal Kadgien, and displayed above the sofa in his daughter's home, has been seized by Argentine police.

More updates on looted WWII paintings to follow. Stay tuned.

Story of the Day: Ghislandi's Portrait of a Lady, once owned by Jewish art dealer Goudstikker, was looted by the Nazis and acquired by SS member Kadgien. Kadgien fled to Argentina. Dutch journalists recently discovered the painting in photos of his daughter’s home, hanging above her sofa.

This week we are going to recover a painting that was stolen from a National Museum somewhere in Europe during WWII...

Soon more.

Soon...

Happy King's Day to all Dutch, wherever they are...

My next recovery played an important role in Dutch/European history. Fascinating stuff.

Leonardo Patterson, one of the biggest looters of antiquities of all times, has died. I met him many times and he was convicted twice because of my testimony. Somehow we still got along well. A colorful man. My next book will be about him. Quite a story.
Rest in peace, Leonardo

Soon: Interesting information about one of the most, if not the most, sought after paintings stolen during WWII. It's believed that the painting did not survive the war. Well... Stay tuned.

BREAKING: This painting by Brueghel, on Poland’s most wanted list, was stolen in 1974 from the National Museum in Gdansk. Most likely by the Secret Service. A witness was killed. Located by us in The Netherlands and soon to be returned to Poland. More details soon...

Tomorrow in De Telegraaf one of the craziest international art thefts I have ever solved. A story about a fantastic painting and a murder. A story worthy of a Spy novel.
