In Priceless, Robert K. Wittman, the founder of the FBI’s Art Crime Team, pulls back the curtain on his remarkable career for the first time, offering a real-life international thriller to rival The Thomas Crown Affair.

Rising from humble roots as the son of an antique dealer, Wittman built a twenty-year career that was nothing short of extraordinary. He went undercover, usually unarmed, to catch art thieves, scammers, and black market traders in Paris and Philadelphia, Rio and Santa Fe, Miami and Madrid.

In this page-turning memoir, Wittman fascinates with the stories behind his recoveries of priceless art and antiquities: The golden armor of an ancient Peruvian warrior king. The Rodin sculpture that inspired the Impressionist movement. The headdress Geronimo wore at his final Pow-Wow. The rare Civil War battle flag carried into battle by one of the nation’s first African-American regiments.

The breadth of Wittman’s exploits is unmatched: He traveled the world to rescue paintings by Rockwell and Rembrandt, Pissarro, Monet and Picasso, often working undercover overseas at the whim of foreign governments. Closer to home, he recovered an original copy of the Bill of Rights and cracked the scam that rocked the PBS series Antiques Roadshow.

By the FBI’s accounting, Wittman saved hundreds of millions of dollars worth of art and antiquities. He says the statistic isn’t important. After all, who’s to say what is worth more --a Rembrandt self-portrait or an American flag carried into battle? They're both priceless.

The art thieves and scammers Wittman caught run the gamut from rich to poor, smart to foolish, organized criminals to desperate loners. The smuggler who brought him a looted 6th-century treasure turned out to be a high-ranking diplomat. The appraiser who stole countless heirlooms from war heroes’ descendants was a slick, aristocratic con man. The museum janitor who made off with locks of George Washington's hair just wanted to make a few extra bucks, figuring no one would miss what he’d filched.

In his final case, Wittman called on every bit of knowledge and experience in his arsenal to take on his greatest challenge: working undercover to track the vicious criminals behind what might be the most audacious art theft of all. (less)

In this stunning autobiography, former FBI undercover agent Robert K. Wittman details his 20-year career investigating the murky world of art theft. Adopting the false but carefully documented identity of Bob Clay, a shady art dealer with a taste for contraband, Wittman successfully infiltrated domestic and international criminal networks to recover more than $225 million worth of stolen cultural property — items ranging from a Rembrandt self-portrait to an original copy of the U.S. Bill of Righ...more

This was a fascinating and compelling read. Written by and about a retired FBI agent who spent 20 years working undercover to catch thieves and recover works of art worth millions, the cases he outlines are varied and sometimes practically unbelievable. Wittman did an excellent job of educating the reader about the history and value of the artifacts he recovered, without making it feel like reading a textbook. He also has no difficulty describing some of the bureaucratic frustrations he faced wi...more

Very few people in the FBI have anything to do with stolen art –it’s just not a big enough or necessarily high-profile enough area of expertise. But Bob Wittman solved art crimes at the FBI for years and Priceless is a memoir of his time trying to recover stolen art. By working undercover, he creates relationships with thugs and criminals, eventually setting up situations where he gets the art and the bad guys get in trouble. In theory.

I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the art history, the t...more

That is an imperilous question to ask. First of all, take the descriptions of the two men given by the college aged museum guards. One thief was tall, and one short with glasses. The Manet taken, Chez Tortini, was valued at substantially under that of the Vermeer or Rembrandt's, and even one of the Boticellis' at the museum. Why? Maybe Chez Tortini looked like the tall theif. Maybe he was a "longshanks", i.e. he had a long face because he was tall and decided to grab one of his likeness? We'll never know because there were only motion detectors there at that time. Also, why take a Napolean eagle from the top of a flag pole. In "Priceless" it's described once as a Corsican eagle, but also as a Napolean eagle. Corsican, Napolean, Corsican, Napolean; Why? This one aspect baffles one to no end. Maybe some of the artwork did end up in Corsica? How about the notion that the Gardener Museum in Boston was going through a change in management, and the outgoing leadership that might have had familial ties paid some wise guys to do the heist to make headlines for a museum that couldn't make headlines anymore. Maybe, in the end, it was something simple...They just wanted to steal thoes sumb*&^%$s.

A more certain question would be why Special Agent Robert Whittman was assigned to art crime. Was he drawn to it because of art in his childhood? Was it because Japanese masters like Hiroshige, Toyokuni, and Utamaro inspired Van Gogh and Monet? The reader thinks Mr. Whittman was put there by FBI hierarchy because, in a sea of caucasian run of the mill agents, Robert Whittman was supposed to be better because he was Japanese. Japanese weren't per se, supposed to be on the east coast, i.e. a dichotomy of culture. Japanese were supposed to be math types, not art aficianados. That was the stereotype in the U.S. Mr. Whittman proved ultimately, the reader believes, to himself and the world. Therefore, if special agent Whittman couldn't crack the Gardner case, no one seemingly would.

So where are the stolen Gardener paintings? Let's just say they are held on la costa del mar, France...Marseille. Sunny spoke of a triangle. Could that triangle subliminally represent three cities either within the french riviera or connected with Paris, somehow? Nice, Marseille and Paris? or Marseille, Nice and St. Maries de la mer? Nice, Marseilles and Carry le Rouet? Not to mention Corsica and Genoa, the former of which used to be basically an Italian colony before Napoleon was born. A larger question is how the thieves moved the paintings after the heist. The reader knows there is no way the Chinese Ku was smuggled onto a plane. Maybe the thieves moved them by boat to the south of France. This would be a monumental undertaking, given not many have the navigational skills to successfully sail from Boston direct to Marseille. Also, the amateur maritime environment is still relatively unregulated and uncontrolled, compared to air transport. So, if they did go by boat they would have probably moved south along the eastern seaboard until they hit south Florida and made the rest of the voyage from there. Besides that, there were thirteen peices of art, eleven of which were on canvas media. Unless the thieves rolled all of the paintings into tubes, they would have taken up some space; enough room provided by a ships hold. Although, the top three paintings, the Vermeer and Rembrandt's were on oil. Therefore, if put into tubes, the multimillion dollar paintings could develop craquelure, and lose their value; and no organized crime boss wants that. Also, the port of Marseille is a perfect place for a getaway route by boat if officials were close. One could just move the art from a land based location to a powerboat to be wisked away to one of the plethora of mediterranean islands nearby. The Nice informant said the people he hand picked to help in the Musee de Beaux heist in Nice were gypsies. In late spring there is a gypsie festival in St. Maries de la mer. Could he have collected his cheap labor from here? Also, the two men from France, "Chocolate" and "Vanilla", that were sent to south Florida to investigate the Paris Picasso sting looked, smelled, and tasted like they were from either Paris or Marseille; the two highest poplulations of ethnic Africans in France are either in Paris or Marseille. Not to mention the Nice informant was of Armenian descent, which is representative of Marseille's demographic makeup. All in all, "Priceless" was a great read. The reader sometimes stumbled over content because it's so packed with information, but other than that, it's well done. One last thing. It must be like dejavu to Whittman that he worked as an agricultural newspaper editor before he joined the F.B.I.; because the inside paper the book is printed on must be, "newspaper paper". This is the reader's only objection, just for quality paper!

Online, I've met people who are trying to do the same thing with Vermeer, but nobody new is signing on for that, even though Vermeer has fewer known works, because one of them was stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990 and no one knows if it will ever be seen again.

This book eventually gets to that case, but it tells many other stories along the way. FBI agent Wittman worked not just on stolen paintings but also on looted artifacts and misappropriated cultural treasures. He often worked undercover, and his stories of duping greedy thieves in seedy hotel rooms are very satisfying. Not only do the good guys win, but art is returned to be appreciated by the public.

The writing here is workmanlike (Wittman enlisted a journalist as cowriter) but I didn't mind because the tales are so good. The backstory on Wittman's childhood is reasonably interesting and not drawn out. He also tells about how he went to trial for drunk-driving/manslaughter (and was acquitted) after a car accident that killed his good friend and FBI partner. This isn't particularly relevant to the art theft theme, but I think he had to address it since it dwarfs the rest of his career in the public record, and the authors do make an attempt to tie it to his approach as an FBI agent.

The book concludes with Wittman's effort to recover the Gardner paintings. If you follow the art world, you know he didn't succeed, because you would have heard about it. But he comes tantalizingly close and is apparently in contact with a syndicate that possesses the art. Then bureaucratic turf wars get in the way and the criminals shimmy out of the net. This part of the book is heavy-handed--there's a guy in Boston who comes off particularly badly and would probably want to issue a rebuttal--but having had no idea that there were any leads at all, I devoured the last fifty pages of this book.

Somehow, I knew that art thieves were not all really like Pierce Brosnon's Thomas Crowne, hiding Picasso's in his mane of chest hair, or like Catherine Zeta Jones getting her freak on with laser alarms. Yet, I wanted to believe that they were like that. But, "Priceless" serves to put those rumors to rest.

Wittman was an FBI agent who ended up specializing in solving art crimes. One difference between dealing with art crime and other property crimes is that with the former the object is unique. Consequently, getting the object back is an important consideration, possibly more important than punishing the criminals.

Most of the book is about Wittman working undercover to retrieve art and arrest the criminals. Typically Wittman posed as someone interested in buying the works, or as a representative of a buyer. The book starts and ends with the unsuccessful attempt to retrieve paintings stolen from the Gardner museum in Boston. Wittman retrieved South American artifacts of the Moche culture, an American Civil War regimental flag, the manuscript of Pearl Buck's novel "The Good Earth", and many paintings. Typically he would work with other law enforcement agents, who would move in and arrest the those responsible when Wittman had arranged to meet the criminals at a hotel room where they thought they were going to exchange the artifacts for cash. Wittman would be the only police officer in the hotel room, which was bugged. After he verified as best he could that the objects were genuine, he would make a remark indicating that it was time for the other police officers to move in and make the arrests.

I was surprised to learn that the FBI basically has so few personnel dedicated to art crime out of about 13,000 agents (didn't know the FBI was that big, either). That only a handful of agents are dedicated to art crime is surprising, because solving art crimes tends to create favorable publicity, which the FBI loves. FBI investigations, of any sort, can be hampered by the tradition of assigning responsibility for case to the office in whose geographical jurisdiction it took place, regardless of whether or not anyone in that office is experienced in that kind of crime. There were often disagreements among FBI offices about who had jurisdication. Things could be worse when a crime involved work in other countries, for there was often disagreements between the FBI and local law enforcement agencies. When there were multiple local police forces involved and more than one FBI office involved, all sorts of power struggles could occur over who would get the credit for solving the case. Apparently this is what happended in the Gardner case.

Robert Wittman recovered hundreds of millions of dollars of "priceless" paintings and antiquities. This is his story. It is one of the seedy, murky underbelly of the art world, where lives are lost, where money is exchanged, where, often, those who pilfer the works have little care for what they rob.

This book almost feels bipolar. At times, it is a very good book about the stealing of art. Other times, it is a personal story about an FBI agent.

Sadly, the personal story is really boring and amounts to digressions that really, really take too long.

While one particular event is important because it impacts him, other events aren't essential a...more
