Now he plans to gather hundreds of the world’s most famous works of art in a private muse-um of his own.These plans are rais-ing the hackles of the elite of the art world, who are outraged that Mr. Amok intends to snap up famous works by artists including Rubens, Bosch, Hogarth, and Canaletto and install them in his Amok Museum of Art, open only to Mr. Amok and his in-vited guests.

I N T R O D U C T I O NThis set of puzzles was originally presented at the 2008 National Puzzlers’ League convention in Denver. Teams of solvers were competing for the job of curator of the Amok Museum of Art by solving puzzles to identify the artists whose works the museum’s founder wanted to add to his collection. There was one particular work of art the founder was eager to obtain, and the final two puzzles would identify this work’s artist and title respectively.

To solve at home:•Eachpuzzle(withtheexceptionof“FortheTitle”)leadstothename—usuallythelastname—ofawell-knownartist.

Although these puzzles were presented in a predetermined order at the convention, for the most part, you can solve thesepuzzlesinanyorder.Thereareafewexceptions,notedbelow.

•ThepuzzleshavebeendividedintothreeseparatePDFdocuments.Thebulkofthepuzzlesarefoundinthefirstpart(sufferpart1.pdf).Youshouldnotview“Patrons”(sufferpart2.pdf)untilyou’vesolvedasmanyofthepuzzlesinthefirst part as you’d like to. Similarly, you should not view“FortheTitle”(sufferpart3.pdf)untilyou’vesolved“Patrons.”Thesetwopuzzleswillleadyoutothe name of the artist of the most desired work and thetitleoftheworkrespectively.“FortheTitle”isaccompanied by a number of pages of works of art by the artists whose names are answers to the rest of the puzzles, so looking at these prematurely will give away the answers to the earlier puzzles.

•You should not solve the puzzle titled “GoingMobile” until you have first solved these fourpuzzles: “Making Connections,” “Paintboxes,”“Retouching,”and“Yes,ButIsItArt?”

•Thepuzzletitled“It’sAllintheDetails”involvescomparing details from paintings with the full paintings. At the convention, large versions of these paintings were posted around the room. For solving at home, you will need to findcopies of these paintings online.

•Though the puzzles are designed in color,most of them should be solvable if printed on a black-and-white printer.However, twopuzzles require color (“Paintboxes” and“Full Spectrum”), and three othersmay behardertosolvewithoutcolor(“It’sAllintheDetails,”“Patrons,”and“FortheTitle”).
