STOLEN GOYA TO RETURN TO GUGGENHEIM EXHIBITION

A Goya painting that was stolen from a delivery truck last November on its way to an exhibition at the Guggenheim and later recovered is, once again, on its way to the Guggenheim, reports the New York Times‘ Randy Kennedy. On February 16, Children with a Cart, 1778, owned by the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio, will join the exhibition where it was previously scheduled to appear. The painting was recovered unharmed in central New Jersey after a lawyer called the FBI and told investigators where they could find it, adding that he could not tell them anything else about the theft. Law-enforcement officials said it appeared that the thieves probably had no idea what was in the truck they broke into overnight in a parking lot at a Howard Johnson Inn near Bartonsville, Pennsylvania.
