Overview Samleren

Norway's most prominent art critic, Jan Solheim, gets an offer he can't refuse. An eccentric art collector is holding the world's greatest artist hidden in a remote hut in Eastern Norway. He lets Solheim meet the aged painter, Amalie Caridi, on one condition: he can't leave Caridi without having stolen away a painting.
The assignment is not only shocking and absurd; it appears to be impossible. Unless Solheim abandons the idea and sacrifices everything to ensure his own and his favourite artist's names in history …
Samleren is ”art crime” in the borderland between The Da Vinci Code and Wonderboy, a cleverly written page-turner which lays bare the inner workings of the art world with ingenuity and passion.
