The art of investigation: insights into the work of German art investigators

Ever since art has existed or been traded in, there has also been a criminal trade.


Even works by Käthe Kollwitz were forged during her lifetime and beyond.

In recent years, spectacular art thefts and art forgeries have repeatedly made headlines. In these cases, the expertise and know-how of art investigators is required to track down stolen works of art and thieves. But how do you become an art investigator and how do the investigators work?


René Allonge, Chief Investigator for Art Crime at the LKA Berlin since 2009, gives an insight into the everyday life of an art investigator and looks back at some extraordinary cases in his career, such as the art forger Wolfgang Beltracchi or the break-in at the Bode Museum.
