Welcome back to Crime & Canvas, the podcast that exposes the hidden truths behind the world's biggest art heist. In this captivating Episode 2, join host Suzanne Kenney as she dives deep into the incredible artworks that unexpectedly entangled her mother, Mary, with billionaire Frederick R. Koch and, ultimately, the 1990 Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum art heist.

Suzanne unveils the remarkable collection of master artworks that her mother acquired from "Ed Koch" in late 1991 and early 1992, many of which Suzanne personally saw and photographed. From the discovery of a potentially unknown Vincent van Gogh to rare pieces by Picasso, Manet, Calder, and Jane Peterson, Suzanne shares the joy of researching these masterpieces and the stark reality of the deception that surrounded them.

Learn about the unique characteristics of each piece, documented by mysterious handwritten notes from Koch, and how one particular painting—the Jane Peterson "Snowy Egret"—played a pivotal role in confirming the timeline of events and inadvertently exposing Koch's bizarre deception.

Listen now to hear:

  • Detailed descriptions and personal insights into the specific artworks Suzanne saw and photographed, including pieces by Van Gogh, Picasso, Manet, Calder, and Jane Peterson.
  • How the handwritten notes from Frederick R. Koch's transactions provide crucial details about the provenance of these artworks.
