Broken deals, interstate and international art theft:
April 2008 
 

Stolen paintings:

Here is my understanding of the affair:

Ingrid Cooper of Richmond, MD is pretending to be a gallery by renting rooms from a reputable gallery,

she is doing business under an LLC umbrella that no longer exists.

She neither paid for the paintings, some of which she presumably sold,

nor has she returned the paintings*.

*Note: Three of the paintings were actually returned on April 13, 2008;

two weeks after the FBI had been notified, see pictures below.

The works in dispute:

The following four paintings are still missing and haven't been paid for:

1.) Pink Rose (oil on canvas) 60x50 cm (850.-€)

2) Dahlia (oil on canvas) 80x100 cm; ( 2300.-€)

3) Heart of the water lilly (oil on Canvas) 80x100 cm; ( 2300.-€)

4.) Yellow Rose 60x40 cm (810.-€);

(Note: not an exact picture, but resonably close)

 

Note: The next three paintings have been returned on April 13, 2008 after the FBI had been notified.
