Stolen Art plot

Where do you draw the line between 'art' and 'theft'? Art and artist? This film is a criminal and aesthetic investigation into the creation of the incognito artist Pavel Novak, a virtuoso forger wanted by the FBI for his 1978 "Stolen Art" exhibition in New York. He caused international surprise as some of the pieces turned out to be stolen originals. Simon Backès takes us on a trek through New York and introduces us to specialists who uncover our relationship to art. Does beauty exist without copyright?
