The Gardner Museum Heist Episode We Deserve!
<p>We finally cover the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum theft. You're welcome! For our Season One finale, we give the biggest art theft in history the full Mara and Baker treatment. This episode has it all: piggy backs, Tape Head, Mafia guys, the IRA, wheat toast, Flim-Flam Man, a Julia Child sighting, and some quality time hearing Mara and Baker discuss our time living in Boston. We tell you everything we know about the March 18th, 1990 Boston crime that resulted in the loss of 13 works of art, including a Vermeer and two Rembrandts. Our discussion follows the four-part Netflix documentary on the heist, 'This is a Robbery' by the <a href="https://barnicle.tv">Barnicle Brothers</a>. As we cover the chronology of each Netflix episode, we weave in additional information from WBUR's Last Seen podcast and other news sources.

Vincent van Gogh, Going, Gone!
<p>You think you know Vincent van Gogh, bro? We go deep into the Vincent van Gogh stacks; his letters, his Neunen studio diagrams, alternate and credible versions of how he lost part of an ear, his less discussed "Peasant Painter" period when he moved back in with his parents and his studio was adjacent to a cesspit. Mara reveals van Gogh's buddy Paul Gauguin as the total creep he was -- a helluva painter, but a terrible creep of a man. The painting at the center of our heist, 'The Parsonage Garden at Nuenen in Spring' triggers some flashbacks of scary paintings in Mara and Baker's family homes. Our news is full of bad fakes of renowned artists, plus the story of a young couple who mistook an installation as an invitation to "interact" and leave some marks of their own. Awkward! Next, it's onto the 2020 theft of Van Gogh's 'The Parsonage Garden at Nuenen in Spring', a smash and grab job by some casually dressed guy with a sledgehammer. We tell you everything we know, including the most recent update direct from Arthur Brand himself, aka: the Indiana Jones of the art world!/p></p> <p><u>Episode References</u></p> <p>ART<br> <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Van_Gogh_-_The_Parsonage_Garden_at_Nuenen.jpg">The Parsonage Garden at Nuenen in Spring</a>, by Vincent van Gogh<br> <a href="https://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/en/collection/s0005V1962">The Potato Eaters</a>, by Vincent van Gogh<br> <a href="http://www.vangoghonline.com/1983/08/weaver-interior-with-three-small-windows.html">Weaver, Interior with Three Small Windows</a>, by Vincent van Gogh<br> <a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436524">Sunflowers (1887)</a>, by Vincent van Gogh<br> </p> <p>NEWS<br> <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/andy-warhol-paintings-ebay-sale-b1826283.html">Man admits stealing Andy Warhol paintings and attempting to sell fake versions on eBay</a> | The Independent<br> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/01/galician-exhibit-spanish-artist-maruja-mallo-work-were-fake-experts-say">All 18 works at show of Spanish artist Maruja Mallo were fakes, say experts</a> | The Guardian<br> <a href="https://bleedingcool.com/games/magic-the-gathering-artist-issues-apology-after-art-theft-claims/">Magic: The Gathering Artist Issues Apology After Art Theft Claims</a> | Bleeding Cool News<br> <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/gma/young-couple-mistakenly-vandalizes-440-025200434.html">Young couple mistakenly vandalizes $440,000 painting in South Korea</a> | Yahoo!<br> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/27/arts/design/van-gogh-stolen.html">What Do You Do With a Stolen van Gogh?

Berthe Morisot and the Political Klepto!
<p>Mara is distracted by Baker and his "butt ball" which is actually just Baker trying to balance on a yoga ball after way too much coffee. BERTHE MORISOT! Learn her name and please use it in equal measure in future references to French impressionists. As you might imagine, she endured all kinds of patriarchal BS. Despite that, she crushed it! She was critically acclaimed and admired by her peers. Mara tells us more about the paint and techniques used in the [to be stolen] Morisot painting, 'Summer's Day' and she pronounces A LOT of French names in this episode too. Baker is baffled by the concept of 'Queen’s consent' which is a super dumb parliamentary thing. And finally, the theft! It's a heist that makes a statement and forces compromise. It also serves as a warning to get your damn affairs in order before you die!</p> <p><u>Episode References</u></p> <p>ART<br> <a href="https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/berthe-morisot-summers-day">'Summer's Day' (1879)</a>, by Berthe Morisot<br> <a href="https://dma.org/BertheMorisot">Berthe Morisot Exhibit (Feb 2019 to May 2019)</a>at Dallas Museum of Art<br> <a href="https://www.artsy.net/artwork/berthe-morisot-hanging-the-laundry-out-to-dry">Hanging the Laundry out to Dry, 1875</a>, by Berthe Morisot<br> <a href="https://www.artsy.net/artwork/berthe-morisot-self-portrait">Self-Portrait, 1885</a>, by Berthe Morisot<br> <a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/12/Berthe_Morisot_Reading.jpg">Reading, 1873</a>, by Berthe Morisot<br> <a href="https://www.nga.gov/features/slideshows/mary-cassatt-selected-paintings.html/#slide_10">The Boating Party, 1893-1894</a>, by Mary Cassatt<br> </p> <p>NEWS<br> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/25/ghent-altarpiece-most-stolen-artwork-30m-glass-case">Ghent Altarpiece: 'most stolen' artwork has new €30m home in bulletproof glass</a> | The Guardian<br> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/mar/25/revealed-police-barred-from-searching-queens-estates-for-looted-artefacts">Revealed: police barred from searching Queen’s estates for looted artefacts</a> | The Guardian<br> <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-56513346">University of Aberdeen to repatriate looted Nigerian bronze sculpture</a> | BBC<br> </p> <p>OTHER<br> <a href="https://news.artnet.com/art-world/berthe-morisot-summers-day-three-things-to-know-1904573">'Summer's Day' (1879 by Morisot) Analysis</a>| artnet<br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvWdLGXNrHY">Berthe Morisot: Impressionist Original</a> |speech by Olga Haridge<br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1ObIy92J4o">Art This Week-At the Dallas Museum of Art-Berthe Morisot</a> | Art This Week<br> <a href="https://twitter.com/artcrimeprof">Erin L.
