Anthony Amore Biography

Anthony Amore is an expert in security matters, especially those related to cultural property and homeland security. He serves as the Director of Security at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, overseeing the ongoing efforts to recover thirteen artworks stolen from the museum on March 18, 1990. In 2011, he co-authored the Wall Street Journal true-crime bestseller "Stealing Rembrandts: The Untold Stories of Notorious Art Heists." His subsequent book, "The Art of the Con: The Most Notorious Fakes, Frauds, and Forgeries in the Art World," was released in 2015. Additionally, he is a lecturer in homeland security at Fisher College and provides analysis on security and terrorism issues for Fox 25 News in Boston.

Amore's role as an art theft investigator has been recognized in various publications including the Boston Herald and in the book "The Gardner Heist: The True Story of the World's Largest Unsolved Art Theft" (Smithsonian, 2009). He has also accumulated fifteen years of experience in national security, law, intelligence, and crisis management with federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)’s Security Division.

Notably, Amore played a key role in the reorganization and regionalization of national homeland security efforts following the events of September 11th. He was the lead agent responding to the attempted terrorist attack by Richard Reid, the so-called “Shoe Bomber,” in December 2001. His significant contributions were acknowledged with nominations for a Service to America Medal in 2002 and 2003. He continues to share his expertise through blogs and was previously a columnist for the Boston Herald, where he wrote the bi-weekly "Security Brief" column.

Anthony Amore Speaking Topics

The Art of the Con: Notorious Fakes, Frauds and Forgeries

The famed former director of the Metropolitan Museum, Thomas Hoving, famously said that 40% of the art hanging on the walls of the museums and galleries of the world are fakes. Art forgery scandals continue to dominate the pages of the industry’s newspapers and, in recent years, have led to the closing of some of the world’s oldest and most esteemed galleries. Though talented copyists are involved in the most famous scandals, Amore describes how the true art in art scams is not on the canvas but in the con itself.

Stealing Rembrants: The True Story of the International Art Theft

Art theft is a multi-billion dollar per year illicit industry, and the world’s most significant heists share one thing in common: the priceless works of Rembrandt. The great Dutch Master’s paintings are known for their value by everyone, from high school dropouts to museum curators. While Hollywood has portrayed the theft of high-value paintings as the work of dashing, likeable thieves working to steal art for evil, reclusive geniuses, in fact that’s nothing like the reality of art theft. Instead, it’s much more interesting. Amore takes his audience behind the scenes of the most notorious of these heists, telling the true story of art crime from the conception of the crime to the recovery of the art.
