At least he understood why he couldn’t keep it.

I wonder if the ex-owner can now sue the auction house.

I remember the Pentagon returning Nazi art to Germany when Cheney was At Defense. They could have at least given it a run at all the U.S. museums before sending it back.

The bigger question is, WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT THAT PAINTING?

Why would anyone want that painting?
“Craig Gilmore is an opera singer and actor. He and his partner, artist David Crocker..”
The answer is in the above text from the article page.

They did the honorable thing.
The part that has me scratching my head is that this fell under the auspices of DHS. I am not sure what part of the homeland they are securing, but it seems like overkill.

The United States Customs office is a division of the Department of Homeland Security.
Lacking a green card, the Lady was an illegal imiga... oh, wait, then they would not have cared.

I went back and re-read the story, and of course you are correct.

I am very pleased with the owners’ handling of the situation.
Good job, men.

It was painted in 1628. What exactly would you wish the artist to have painted in 1628? I would question if any of you could draw a good stick figure. Neil Boortz has said, regarding modern art, “If I can do it, it’s not art”. Well, under that definition I’d say none of you could do it.
Maybe you all need to go work on your stick figures.

My point was: Craig be a little light in the loafers, his artist boyfriend likely knew what they bought, and now they are trying to save face.
