An art detective looking into the fate of a Van Gogh, stolen from the Singer Laren Museum earlier this year, has received the following pictures from individuals purporting to be in possession of the work.
The photograph features a copy of the New York Times, dated 30 May, and a copy of a book on the convicted art thief Octave 'Okkie' Durham.
This is a sign, it is claimed, that the work has not been destroyed as often happens when offloading stolen artworks doesn't prove as easy as hoped. The work is believed to be valued around €6m.
