ABOUT ERIN THOMPSON
As America’s only full-time professor of art crime, I study the damage done to humanity’s shared heritage through looting, theft, and the deliberate destruction of art. I have discussed art crime topics in, e.g, The New York Times, CNN, NPR, and the Freakonomics podcast, and have been invited to lecture at MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and Columbia. My book, Possession: The Curious History of Private Collectors, is now out from Yale University Press. I am also interested in the legalities and ethics of digital reproductions of cultural heritage, as well as art made by detainees at the United States military prison camp known as Guantánamo Bay; I curated an exhibit of this artwork in 2017-18. For more, see or follow me @artcrimeprof.
