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.
