An Art Dealer Named Niemand: In pursuit of a stolen painting

Kan English

On the eve of the new year, the unexpected ringing of the phone pierces the silence of art dealer Yitzhak Niemand's home. The faint voice heard over the line belongs to a mysterious art collector, who insists on meeting him urgently to discuss a stolen painting. Thus begins the debut novel of author Joseph Sissman, An Art Dealer Named Niemand. Drawing on his own familiarity with the international art world as an art dealer and former gallery owner, Sissman spins a mysterious and thrilling tale that delves into one of the darkest periods of human history. He spoke to KAN reporter Naomi Segal about the book.
