The University Of Arizona Still Wants Its De Kooning Back

In this Wednesday, Nov. 25, 2015 photo, an empty wooden frame sits next to a composite drawing of two suspects in the heist of a valuable painting stolen 30 years ago from the University of Arizona Museum of Art in Tucson. The museum is displaying the empty frame left behind by thieves in an effort to get new leads on the painting. The painting is by Willem de Kooning and is called “Woman-Ochre.” It was donated to the museum in 1958 and stolen on Nov. 29, 1985. (AP Photo/Astrid Galvan)

“The museum had just opened when a man and a woman walked in. They were the sole visitors. The woman, described as being in her mid-50s with shoulder-length reddish and blond hair, distracted the a security guard by making small-talk while the man, who appeared to be in his 20s and wore a mustache and glasses, cut the painting from the large frame, leaving the edges of the canvas attached.”
