Framed: The 'True' Story of the Theft of Picasso's Weeping Woman

Framed blows the lid off one of Melbourne’s most puzzling secrets: Who stole Picasso’s Weeping Woman from the NGV in 1986.

Written by the brother of the brilliant artist who was framed for the crime, Framed draws on never-before-revealed information told to the author before his brother died.

Framed is totally engrossing and highly controversial. It is at once a rollicking crime thriller, a vividly drawn period piece of mid-eighties Melbourne, and an exposé of the murky under-belly of the city’s art scene.

This is a gripping speculative account of Melbourne’s greatest unsolved crime. None of it may be true but few readers will.
