Summary
"The crime of art looks at Kota Ezawa's oeuvre using crime as a topical lens. The book presents photographs and reproductions from Ezawa's exhibitions at Mead Art Museum and SITE Sante Fe, featuring remakes of paintings stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. In addition, the book draws connections from this project to other works by Ezawa from 2002 to 2017 that contemplate crime."--Dust jacket.
