The Day van Gogh was Murdered; The Honor Killing That Changed Art History Forever and Led to the Greatest Art Heist in Modern times. Available now for Pre-order.

On July 30, 1890, a hot and muggy afternoon, shortly after Vincent van Gogh was laid to rest after his honor killing for “compromising” his doctor’s twenty-one-year-old daughter, twenty-six (26) of his unknown paintings and other art material were taken from the hotel where his final viewing occurred by his doctor and his son. This was the largest art heist of a single artist ever and led to the Gachet art forgery ring and many fakes, forgeries, and altered provenance for years.
