Reviews
"The theft and sometime recovery of a work of art holds a fascination for many that John Barelli fully satisfies in these absorbing pages born of a long career studying the subject and putting it into practice at the Metropolitan Museum of Art". Philippe de Montebello Director Emeritus, the Metropolitan Museum of Art "Forget Oceans 8, Put The Thomas Crowne Affair on hold, tell the Pink Panther hes got to wait. If you want a guided tour through the shadows and into the real world of art theft, Stealing the Show is your ticket." - John Miller, Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence NYPD and former CBS News Senior Correspondent "I recommend placing this book on a shelf next to Robert Edsel's Saving Italy: The Race to Rescue a Nation's Treasures from the Nazis. Barelli's Stealing the Show is, in its own way, as much a celebration of American ingenuity and courage in the service of art and culture as is Edsel's volume...This book is about much more than the untold stories of half a dozen major art thefts. It is about what it means to be a New Yorker, what it means to be a lover of art and the rule of law, and what it means to be a highly-trained professional with an especially stressful job." -Ron Smith, Poet Laureate of Virginia, 2014-2016 John Barelli made us feel totally secure at the Met for more than a quarter of a century--and now he tells us exactly how he handled threats, thefts, and the challenges of keeping art and visitors safe in the post-9/11 world. Like the great treasures he protected, this is a masterpiece of a memoir. Harold Holzer Author, winner of the National Humanities Medal, and former senior Vice President for External Affairs at the Met Museum, "The theft and sometime recovery of a work of art holds a fascination formany that John Barelli fully satisfies in these absorbing pages born of along career studying the subject and putting it into practice at theMetropolitan Museum of Art".Philippe de MontebelloDirector Emeritus, the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Synopsis
When he retired as the chief security officer of New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, John Barelli had spent the better part of forty years responsible not only for one of the richest treasure troves on the planet, but the museum's staff, the millions of visitors, as well as American presidents, royalty, and heads of state from around the world. For the first time, John Barelli shares his experiences of the crimes that occurred on his watch; the investigations that captured thieves and recovered artwork; the lessons he learned and shared with law enforcement professionals in the United States and abroad; the accidents and near misses; and a few mysteries that were sadly never solved. He takes readers behind the scenes at the Met, introduces curators and administrators, walks the empty corridors after hours, and shares what it's like to get the call that an ancient masterpiece has gone missing. The Metropolitan Museum covers twelve acres in the heart of Manhattan and is filled with five thousand years of work by history's great artists known and unknown: Goya, da Vinci, Rembrandt, Warhol, Pollack, Egyptian mummies, Babylonian treasures, Colonial crafts, and Greek vases. John and a small staff of security professionals housed within the Museum were responsible for all of it. Over the years, John helped make the museum the state-of-the-art facility it is today and created a legacy in art security for decades to come. Focusing on six thefts but filled with countless stories that span the late 1970s through the 21st Century, John opens the files on thefts, shows how museum personnel along with local and sometimes Federal Agents opened investigations and more often than not caught the thief. But of ultimate importance was the recovery of the artwork, including Celtic and Egyptian gold, French tapestries, Greek sculpture, and more. At the heart of this book there will always be art--those who love it and those who take it, two groups of people that are far from mutually exclusive., When he retired as the chief security officer of New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, John Barelli had spent the better part of forty years responsible not only for one of the richest treasure troves on the planet, but the museum's staff, the millions of visitors, as well as American presidents, royalty, and heads of state from around the world.
