    Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona theatrical premiere of “The Thief Collector” showing June 17-21 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

    “The Thief Collector” is a captivating crime documentary about the heist one of the most valuable paintings of the 20th century — Willem de Kooning’s “Woman-Ochre” — which was brazenly cut from its frame in 1985 while hanging at the University of Arizona Museum of Art.

    “The Thief Collector” premiered at the recent Sedona International Film Festival where it played to rave audience reviews. It has won numerous awards at festivals around the world.

    “The Thief Collector” is a captivating crime documentary about the heist one of the most valuable paintings of the 20th century — Willem de Kooning’s “Woman-Ochre” — which was brazenly cut from its frame in 1985 while hanging at the University of Arizona Museum of Art.

    Thirty-two years later, the painting was found hanging in the New Mexico home of an eccentric married couple with a keen eye for great works but a very unconventional method of collecting them.

    “The Thief Collector” takes a deep look at how, and why, this mild-mannered couple pulled off one of the greatest art heists of a generation, exploring the complicated dynamics of family, the contours of criminality, and just how far people will go to weave their own grandiose narratives.

    “An art-heist documentary with an ‘Oh. My. God.’ Factor.” — Variety

    I was talking to the Sedona.biz publisher/editor the other day, Tommy Acosta, and learned that our common friend Fernando Rivera of North Carolina passed away. It was reported that life and time caught him and then overcame him, and his heart quietly and suddenly failed.
