Spring Garden by Vincent van Gogh, stolen from the Singer Laren museum in March 2020.
Interpol, the international crime-fighting police force, catalogs stolen works of art in a massive online database that currently includes more than 52,000 items. Now, as
Smithsonian magazine reports, the organization is giving the general public a chance to get in on the investigative action through a new mobile app called ID-Art.
Once you re on the app, you can upload a photo of an item (or submit details manually using the search function) and it will let you know if it matches any missing artwork in their database. In this way, Interpol hopes to cut down on the number of art dealers and collectors unwittingly trafficking stolen goods.
