kri1311 - It's a classic example of verb sequencing error tested on the GMAT. The sentence describes two related events in past tense; the act of stealing and the act of buying the paintings are the two related past events. As written, the sentence does not clarify the sequence of events, meaning whether the act of stealing took place before the act of buying, or vice-versa. Therefore, the meaning of the sentence is ambiguous.
Corrected versions
The geographic paintings that were stolen from the museum had been bought by the art expert of the museum on the black market. Buying happened before stealing
The geographic paintings that had been stolen from the museum were bought by the art expert of the museum on the black market. Stealing happened before buying
