Description:

A rogue art gallery owner, missing paintings, a billionaire - it’s a story that feels like it belongs in the Thomas Crown Affair. But the case of Tristian Koenig isn’t a movie plot line, it’s very real.

Late last year, The Age published an investigation looking into allegations that Koenig had sold the work of artists that he represented without telling them and pocketed the money himself.

Now some of those artists and the collectors who bought their work are trying to get to the bottom of what went on, while Koenig himself seems to have gone missing.

Today on Please Explain, Osman Faruqi is joined by The Age chief reporter Chip Le Grand to discuss the power imbalance between artist and art gallery owner.
