Unlike many thieves who are drawn to crime by the risk and excitement of breaking the law, Professor Feller got no thrill from stealing.

Humiliating important donors is a certain way for museums to lose their critical financial supporters.

Typically, museums do not ask a donor where the donated work(s) came from, especially a donor with status and impeccable credentials like those of [art thief] Dr. Feller.

The International Foundation for Art Research dubbed Professor Feller “a Robin Hood of the arts” because he frequently stole from one museum or private collection and lent or donated the spoils to another.

I can become obsessed with every mark and brushstroke on the canvas. As if every mark is a note of music and they all have to come together to be coherent, like a symphonic composition – and then it will sing the song I want to sing.
