FBI Recovers Stolen Painting

No good news on the Gardner Heist, but the FBI did announce that a Juan Gris painting, stolen in 2004, has been recovered in Florida and a suspect, Robert Dibartolo, has been charged with transportation of the stolen art work.

According to the criminal complaint and affidavit cited by the FBI and the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, the painting was taken by unknown thieves who forcibly broke into the home of Clifton Hyatt in Saint Louis, Missouri in 2004. The Juan Gris untitled canvas, a 1926 cubist impressionist still-life valued at around $1 million, was hanging in the front entryway of the house.
