An exploration of the psychology of art observation is based on the 1911 theft of the Mona Lisa, noting how a vast number of people went to look at the empty place in the Louvre where the painting once stood, and considers what art represents, its creative process, the reasons people look at art, and the costs associated with masterpieces.
