The FBI Wilmington Resident Agency and the FBI Art Crime Team seized a forgery of Andrew Wyeth’s Snow Birds. The fraudulent painting had been placed for sale at a major auction house in New York. Initial estimates placed its value at between $300,000 and $500,000. The actual Snow Birds painting was painted by Andrew Wyeth in 1970.

The seizure was announced yesterday by the U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware.
