In New York City in 1978, an unknown Czech artist by the name of Pavel Novak held an exhibit entitled "Stolen Art," which featured paintings by Rembrandt, Courbet, Van Gogh and other great masters, all reproduced with astonishing accuracy by Novak. Following the claim by a private collector that one painting was actually an original stolen from his home, the FBI shut down the exhibit and Novak disappeared without a trace.
