"Woman-Ochre" de Kooning cov duab los ntawm tub sab mus rau nws rov qab los tsev

Nws yog ib tug heist uas yog brazen raws li nws yog yooj yim.

Thaum sawv ntxov lub Kaum Ib Hlis 29, 1985, ob niam txiv nkag mus hauv University of Arizona Tsev khaws puav pheej ntawm Art hauv Tucson, Arizona. Tsis pub dhau feeb, "Woman-Ochre" - ib daim duab los ntawm Dutch-American artist Willem de Kooning - tau ploj mus.

Lub tsev khaws puav pheej tus curator Olivia Miller tau piav qhia txog kev tub sab hauv a sib tham hauv podcast ntawm J. Paul Getty Tsev khaws puav pheej lub vev xaib:

“Lub tsev nyuam qhuav pib qhib rau hnub. Muaj ib tug txiv neej thiab poj niam zaum sab nraum lub tshav puam, thiab ib tug neeg ua hauj lwm nkag mus rau hauv lub tsev, thiab lawv tuaj tom qab lawv.

Cov neeg saib xyuas kev ruaj ntseg tseem tsis tau tag nrho lawv txoj haujlwm hauv lub tsev. Tus txiv neej tau nce mus rau pem teb thib ob, thiab tus neeg saib xyuas kev ruaj ntseg pib nce toj mus coj nws txoj haujlwm nyob rau ntawd. Tab sis tus poj niam txwv tsis pub nws tham nrog nws txog daim duab uas dai rau hauv lub stairwell. Tam sim no peb paub tias qhov ntawd yog ib txoj hauv kev los cuam tshuam nws thiab tiv thaiv nws ntawm kev nce toj.

Kwv yees li 10 mus rau XNUMX feeb tom qab, tus txiv neej rov qab los thiab ob niam txiv tawm hauv tsev cia puav pheej. Tus neeg saib xyuas kev ruaj ntseg txuas ntxiv mus rau pem hauv ntej, taug kev los ntawm cov chav tsev thiab qhov ntawd yog thaum nws pom tau tias 'Woman-Ochre' tau raug txiav los ntawm nws tus ncej.

Cov tub sab tsis tso cov ntiv tes, thiab lub tsev khaws puav pheej tsis muaj lub koob yees duab thaum lub sijhawm, Miller hais rau CNBC.  

Lub painting yuav nyob twj ywm ploj mus rau 32 xyoo.

Xyoo 2017, David Van Auker, tus tswv koom ua ke ntawm cov rooj tog zaum thiab cov khoom qub qub hauv Silver City, New Mexico, tau them $ 2,000 rau kev sau cov khoom muag ntawm ib lub tsev hauv ib lub nroog me me sab nraum nroog.

Lub tsev koom nrog Jerry thiab Rita Alter, ob qho tib si yav dhau los cov neeg ua haujlwm hauv tsev kawm ntawv pej xeem. Jerry yog "Sunday painter" - lossis hobbyist - thiab nkawm niam txiv tau paub tias muaj kev lom zem ("lawv mus nyiam 120 lub teb chaws"), hais tias Miller.   

Ntawm Van Auker qhov kev yuav khoom yog ib qho painting uas dai tom qab ob peb lub qhov rooj chav pw, nws hais rau CNBC.

Van Auker muab cov duab tso rau hauv nws lub khw, qhov twg cov neeg siv khoom tam sim ntawd pib nug txog nws, nws hais. Tab sis nws tsis yog txog thaum tus neeg siv khoom muab $ 200,000 rau nws uas nws thiab nws cov tswv cuab tau txiav txim siab los tshawb xyuas, nws hais.

"Tus neeg siv khoom xav tias nws yuav tsim nyog ntau dua thiab xav them peb ncaj ncees rau nws," Van Auker hais rau CNBC. "Peb tau tshawb nrhiav Google [thiab] ... pom ib tsab xov xwm hais txog tub sab nyiag."

Miller tab tom tham nrog ib tug npoj yaig hauv nws qhov chaw ua haujlwm thaum nws hnov ​​​​ib qho kev sib tham txawv txawv ntawm lub tsev khaws puav pheej xov tooj cua kev ruaj ntseg. Tus neeg saib xyuas kev ruaj ntseg tau hais tias muaj ib tug txiv neej hauv xov tooj uas tau thov kom muaj lub tsev khaws puav pheej cov duab nyiag.  

Miller hais tias "Kuv tus neeg ua haujlwm thiab kuv tsuas yog tso tseg peb qhov kev sib tham thiab saib ib leeg," "Nws hais tias, 'Peb puas yuav nco txog lub sijhawm no mus tas peb lub neej?'

Tseem, Miller tau hais tias lub sijhawm tsis yog ib qho ntawm "kev zoo siab tam sim ntawd." Nws tau hais tias thaum tus txiv neej hauv xov tooj - uas tau los ua Van Auker - suab zoo heev, nws txhawj xeeb tias nws tuaj yeem muaj kev tsim tawm ntawm qee yam. Yog li ntawd, nws nug nws txog cov duab, nws hais.

"Txhua zaus nws xa daim duab, peb tau txais ntau thiab zoo siab," nws hais. "Nws hais tias daim duab muaj kab hla nws zoo li nws tau muab dov."

Lwm qhov qhia txog cov npoo ntawm cov duab, uas tsis sib npaug thiab "sib npaug rau cov npoo uas peb muaj nyob tom qab."

Qhov ntawd yog thaum FBI tau koom nrog, qhia Van Auker kom tshem tawm sai sai ntawm nws lub khw, Miller hais. Nws hais tias nws khaws cia rau hauv ib tug phooj ywg lub tsev kom txog thaum lub tsev khaws puav pheej tuaj yeem khaws nws.

Thaum lub tsev khaws puav pheej tau muaj cov duab kos, Miller tau hais tias, kev tshawb nrhiav yog nrhiav tus neeg saib xyuas nrog cov kws tshaj lij uas yuav tsum tau kho nws. Nyob rau hauv dab tsi Miller hu ua "qhov zoo tshaj plaws scenario," Getty, uas muaj nws lub koom haum kev txuag, pom zoo lees txais nws.

Thaum daim duab tuaj txog ntawm Getty, nws tau nyob rau hauv "qhov mob tsis zoo," Laura Rivers, tus kws saib xyuas cov duab kos rau J. Paul Getty Museum.

Nws tau muaj kab rov tav tawg thoob plaws ntawm qhov chaw, thiab cov khoom me me ntawm cov xim pleev xim tau tawg mus thoob qhov chaw, ntes tau ntawm txheej thaum ntxov ntawm cov kua roj vanish thiab ib txheej thib ob thov tom qab tub sab, nws hais.

Ntxiv rau, lub ntsej muag ntawm daim duab tau raug muab khi rau ntawm lub tshuab tshiab, lossis cov txheej txheem kev txhawb nqa ntoo, thiab nws zoo li tau muab dov - ntsej muag - uas feem ntau tsis zoo dua li dov lub ntsej muag pleev xim tawm, Rivers hais.

Txawm li cas los xij, feem ntau ntawm kev puas tsuaj ntseeg tau ua tiav thaum tus tub sab tev daim ntaub tawm ntawm nws cov ntaub qhwv, nws hais. Miller hais rau CNBC cov ntaub ntawv tau ntxiv rau xyoo 1974 los ntawm Lub Tsev khaws puav pheej ntawm Niaj Hnub Nyoog Art los txhawb cov duab kos tom qab nws raug puas ntsoog thaum lub sijhawm thauj mus los.

Rivers hais tias "Thaum tus tub sab pib txiav daim ntaub tawm ntawm lub thav duab, rab riam tsis hla ob daim ntaub," Rivers hais. "Nws yuav tsum yog lub sijhawm tsis meej pem txij li tus tub sab yuav xav tias cov duab yuav ploj mus yooj yim."

Rivers tau hais tias nws tau ntxuav, rov muab cov xim pleev xim rau cov duab me me thiab npaj cov duab kos duab puas lawm - tus txheej txheem uas siv 2.5 xyoo.

Raws li pom nyob rau hauv ib tug yees duab ntawm Getty lub website, Ulrich Birkmaier, Getty tus thawj saib xyuas laus, tau rov qab cov npoo rau ntawm daim ntaub qub thiab sau rau hauv qee cov xim ploj, txheej txheem hu ua "painting," Rivers hais.

Hauv tag nrho, txoj haujlwm kev txuag tau siv sijhawm li peb xyoos, txawm tias qee qhov ntawm qhov no yog vim muaj kev sib kis qeeb, nws hais.

Tom qab kev nthuav qhia luv luv ntawm Getty Center, "Woman-Ochre" tau rov qab mus rau University of Arizona Tsev khaws puav pheej ntawm Art, qhov chaw nws yuav qhib rau pej xeem los ntawm kev nthuav qhia tshwj xeeb pib lub Kaum Hlis 8.

"Thaum qhov kev nthuav qhia dhau los hauv lub Tsib Hlis, nws yuav rov qab mus rau ntawm phab ntsa uas nws raug nyiag lawm, qhov twg nws yuav nyob rau ntau, ntau xyoo tom ntej," Miller hais.

Miller tau hais tias lub tsev khaws puav pheej tsis txuas tus nqi duas rau kev ua haujlwm vim tias muaj kev saib xyuas ntau dua nyob ib puag ncig nws rov qab los, tab sis hais txog kev coj noj coj ua thiab kev kawm, Miller tau hais tias "peb xav tias nws tsis muaj nqis."

Zaj dab neeg ntawm "Woman-Ochre" muaj tam sim no tau ua movie. Miller tau hais tias cov neeg ua yeeb yaj kiab tau ua "txoj haujlwm zoo" thiab nws tau "tshwj xeeb tshaj yog txaus siab rau ntau qhov kev xam phaj lawv tau nyab xeeb, suav nrog ... cov neeg uas paub Jerry thiab Rita tus kheej."

FBI rooj plaub rau leej twg nyiag daim duab tseem qhib, nws hais.
