Although she had been in Boston for many years Carol Orange was living in Paris when she heard about the 1990 art heist at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. “I was so shocked and depressed by this event because the Gardner was always my favorite place to go in Boston,” she said. “It’s such a special institution.”
An art dealer, Orange already knew the paintings that had been taken, but she decided to study them further, searching for clues about the mastermind behind the theft. “I looked at the art because that’s my training,” she said. “And I recognized this underlying chiaroscuro theme, the tension between shadow and light.”
