The +$100M Lost Van Gogh: The Portrait of Dr. Gachet | Art History Mysteries

In 1990, Vincent van Gogh's Portrait of Dr. Gachet sold for a record-breaking $82.5 million at Christie's New York. The buyer? A Japanese paper magnate who threatened to burn it with his corpse. Thirty-five years later, the painting hasn't been seen in public since. This is the story of the most expensive painting to ever disappear—a tale involving N***s, fraudsters, anonymous billionaires, and one of Van Gogh's final masterpieces.
