Industry Reviews
The Indiana Jones of the art world
* Daily Telegraph *
Reads like a novel by John Le Carre
* Nieuwsuur *
Forget the film The Monuments Men, in which George Clooney saves art from the hands of the Nazi's. The way in which two massive bronze horses from Hitler's personal art collection were retrieved - featuring Russian generals and Nazi descendants - is better than the movies
