Event description
In 1986, Picasso’s The Weeping Woman was stolen from the NGV. Weeks later it was discovered in a train station locker. Chris Womersley (The Diplomat) is an expert on art heists. With arts critic Tim Byrne, Chris will unravel truths stranger than fiction in Melbourne’s underground art world.
In partnership with the Louis Joel Arts Centre in Altona, Willy Lit Fest presents a series of conversations at the point where art and literature intersect. These events will be held at the Louis Joel Arts Centre in the lead-up to festival weekend.
