I bought some embroidery in a shop in Korea a few years ago. If someone classes that as stolen art, then the word has become pretty meaningless.

When Van Gogh sold a painting, at what point did it become stolen? Was it stolen from him as he willingly accepted money for it, or was the act of theft committed later when the purchaser moved house?
