Hiddent in Plain Sight – The de Kooning Theft

The theft of Willem de Kooning’s Woman-Ochre reads like a work of fiction: a quiet museum visit, a painting cut from its frame, and suspects who looked anything but criminal. Stolen in 1985 and recovered more than 30 years later, the case raises enduring questions about motive, secrecy, and how great art can disappear — and reappear — against all odds.
