There's a documentary on this theft on Youtube. The woman distracted the guard while the man went upstairs and cut the painting out of its frame. The painting ended up with cracks in the paint indicating that it had been rolled up.
I would estimate the size as about 30 inches wide by 36 inches tall. It was hidden in the suspect couple's master bedroom behind the entrance door on a small section of wall not visible from outside the room.
I was wondering about cutting it out of the frame. I just don’t get it when people do that. There’s a reason there’s the extra canvas going around the stretcher to hold it in place. If you love a piece, why come close to destroying it to get it out of the frame? I just hate that.
Thanks for the info, though. Glad you saw the documentary.
Despicable people.
