Art World on High Alert: Thieves Strike Renoir Museum for €9m Heist The brazen theft of four valuable paintings from the Renoir Museum in Cagnes sur Mer, France, has sent shockwaves through the art world.
The estimated €9 million haul includes works by Pierre Auguste Renoir himself, a master who fetched dozens of millions at auction in his prime.
This latest heist follows hot on the heels of the Louvre's high profile jewel heist last year and raises disturbing questions about the increasing audacity of art thieves.
