Not as much as the auction price does.
- ikeboy 8y agoBut the media only reports auction prices when they're obscenely high, like in hundred million ranges. Art thefts can get widespread coverage even when they're only worth a measly 18 million
- mannykannot 8y agoYou have a point, but if the 18 million is a reference to this case, it seems the then-current value was several times greater than they were insured for. The fact that the paintings were burned also raised its profile considerably.
