Review of Portrait of Wally (2012) by Jerry K — 28 Feb 2014
In light of the release of "Monuments Men," this documentary is an excellent companion piece. "Portrait of Wally" clearly shows the underbelly of the art world through the wickedly accurate tale around the stealing, acquisition and reclamation and disposition of one single painting stolen during the Holocaust from a Austrian Jewish art dealer.
Fascinating to watch with extensive interviews with wel known jounalists including Morley Safer, it saddens me that institutions such as MOMA in NYC and NPR are given black eyes through this well-crafted documentary.
