Authors

Lex Boon

The Stolen Van Goghs is an infectious quest filled with razor-sharp observations.

Journalist Lex Boon wanted to write about a single art heist but ended up on a lengthy, colourful pursuit of more. The characters in his book appeal even more to the imagination than the vanished paintings do.

De gestolen Van Goghs. Het verhaal achter de sensationele diefstal van Lentetuin en 47 andere Van Goghs

In March 2020, thieves take a sledgehammer to the front door of the Singer Laren Museum. They make off with The Parsonage Garden in Nuenen in Springtime, part of a series Van Gogh painted while staying with his parents in 1884. The following afternoon, journalist Lex Boon rushes to the press conference given by the depressed curator, sensing a story. What he uncovers is not just the theft of this particular painting but dozens more.
