Museum Thefts
The September number of the Art Newspaper has a two page report on
Art Theft from Museums centering around articles on Museum thefts in
the US by Jason Edward Kaufman and Museum thefts in the UK by Martin
Bailey. Kaufman's article called "Upgrading to stay ahead" says that
reported incidents of art theft in the US are at a low as a result of
museums upgrading their security systems following the theft of old
masters from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston in 1990.
Bailey's article "To tell or not to tell" asks "Does publicising
robberies aid recovery?" and reports on an Art Newspaper survey that
investigates losses from national collections over the last five
years. Of the ten thefts in the survey where there was publicity,
seven of the losses were recovered - a fairly successful result. Of
the eight thefts where publicity was much less, only one loss was
fully recovered. The Art Newspaper says that although the lesson seems
clear, the results need to be treated with a certain degree of caution
- it considers that the findings of their very limited survey give
very strong grounds for believing that publicity aids recovery. Why
then, it asks, are few major museums thefts publicised? Reasons they
think are (1)that museum officials often fear that publicity will give
criminals the impression that their collection is a soft touch (2)
that museums think their reputation will suffer if it is revealed that
security has been breached. According to Peter Osborne, Security
Adviser to the UK Museums and Galleries Commission, "there is rarely a
reason not to publicise thefts. Losses should normally be publicised
to aid recovery". Following the Art Newspaper investigation, Osborne
has decide to issue new guidelines to UK museums to this effect. A
question of stealing in order to give generously. The Art Newspaper
also reports on "The Robin Hood of Porcelain", John Quentin Feller.
Until 1991 Feller was professor of history at Scranton University. His
reputation as a scholar in Chinese export porcelain allowed him
privileged access to the eight museums from which he stole more than
100 items over the course of two decades. Nothing if not magnanimous,
the Robin Hood of export porcelain frequently loaned or donated his
acquisitions to other museums. For example he stole eighteeen objects
from the basement of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum in Hartford and
gave them to the Peabody Museum in Salem Massachusetts which responded
by electing him a trustee!.His eventual punishment was eighteen months
in prison, a $30,000 fine and expulsion from his university. Getty

One day I was going to a book fair in either Toronto or Ottawa and
ended up with a seat right next to a nice guy I knew, a book dealer
specializing in juveniles who now is in the South. After a while he
told me a story of a mutual acquaintance who sold him an Alice
manuscript in the distinctive purple ink Etc-illustrated. Well, it
was a fake, and the buyer found out many months later that it had
been sold as a fake in a British auction. The piece of paper about it
being a fake had conveniently disappeared. Both of them are still
among us. They are both ABAA members. Sincerely,

Rugby vandals damage statue
FROM RICHARD OWEN IN ROME AND
FRANCESCO BONGARRA IN PALERMO
TWO British amateur rugby players, who had been taking part in a
friendly match in Sicily, yesterday admitted damaging a figure at
the Elephant Fountain, a marble 18th-century Baroque fountain in
Catania's Cathedral Square. It is one of Sicily's most famous
landmarks. Police named the two as Thomas Balls, 37, a hotelier from
Middlesbrough, and Thomas Davidson, 25, described as a commercial
agent, from Derby. "It was an accident, we didn't mean to damage the
fountain," Mr Balls said. "We are very, very sorry, and have offered
to pay compensation so the fountain can be repaired." The men are due
to go on trial on charges of vandalism and "damage to Italy's
cultural heritage". They told police they had tried to climb the
fountain while drunk in an attempt to reach the elephant on top and
sit astride it. Instead they broke the legs of two marble angels
supporting the fountain, throwing the damaged pieces into another
fountain nearby, but leaving an empty bottle of vodka in the fountain
they had vandalised. The elephant fountain was designed by Giovanni
Vaccarini, the noted Baroque architect, in 1735, as part of his
reconstruction of the city after the earthquake which devastated the
Mount Etna area at the end of the 17th century. It is topped by an
elephant made of lava - to symbolise Etna - with an obelisk on its
back. Police said Mr Balls and Mr Davidson had been with a party of
eight Englishmen who celebrated in Catania after the match and were
driven back to their hotel in two taxis "in a drunken state" late at
night. When the damage to the fountain became clear in the light of
day, the taxi drivers led police to the rugby players' hotel, where
the two confessed "in order not to incriminate our six innocent
colleagues". Enzo Bianco, the Mayor of Catania, said he was "deeply
angered". The local Zagara rugby team, which hosted the match, said
it had offered to contribute to the repair. The attack comes only two
weeks after three vandals - all unemployed men from Rome - damaged
Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers in Piazza Navona in the heart
of Rome by climbing it "to cool off". The ringleader, who broke off
the travertine marble tail of a sea monster, was last week given a
three-month prison sentence, but is free pending an appeal. There are
fears that "exuberant behaviour" could again put the Bernini fountain
at risk tomorrow, when large crowds are expected to gather in Piazza
Navona to watch a live relay from Lausanne announcing whether Rome
will host the 2004 Olympic Games.

Subject: Assistance in finding a product supplier
About 15 years ago I used a picture hanger called a Loc-A-Pic but now
I can't find a supplier for it. This is a small metal device with a
maze-like slot. It screws to the wall. A screw on the top back of a
picture inserts into a small round hole on the hanger and is then slid
through the maze, the slot now too narrow for the screw head to slip
off. A thief has to play with the picture, finding the right
combination, to get it off the wall (or use great force which can be
more obvious). The device was used in California as it allows
pictures to move in an earthquake without pulling the frame apart.
Does anyone have a supplier of this product? A museum called me to ask
about it and I didn't know who sells it anymore. Your help is
appreciated. Steve Keller Museum Security Consultant

HERITAGE FIRE SAFETY 1997
Conference on Fireprotection in Monumental Buildings
Organized by: Fire Protection Association ( Loss Prevention Council
tel. 0044 181 207 2345 of fax 0044 181 236 9698 attn. May Husseyin)
INTRODUCTION
Despite enormous improvement in recent years in the protection
of historic buildings, museums, galleries and libraries, fire remains
the biggest single threat to the preservation of the Heritage of the
United Il,ingdom and Ireland. High profile fires such as Windsor
Castle and Stormont have increased awareness of the problem, but there
are still lessons to be learnt, as severe fire damage continues to be
caused to our historic buildings and collections.
HERITAGE FIRE SAFETY 1997
The last major conference highlighting the problem of fire and
heritage was held in 1995 in the Isle of Wight and was attended by
over 150 delegaties. It was felt during that event that education was
probably the single most effective way of reducing losses and so ir
was agreed that a major conference would take place biannually to
address this need. Northern Ireland has been selected as this year's
venue to coincide with the launch of Fire Safety Week in the Province
and because of the range of historic buildings that exist both sides
of the border. Once again the conference has attracted internationally
renowned speakers on the subject and the conference programma has been
designed to offer a broad range of practically based subjects and
advice to those with an interest in protecting our heritage. The
conference will be run over two days and will give delegaties the
opportunity to meet with and question the speakers during the
conference dinner as well as during the visits which are planned for
the second day.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Owners
Agents
property Managers
Architects/Builders/Surveyors
Local Authority Personnel

THE VENUE
The Ulster Folk & Transport Museum is the perfect venue for a
Heritage Conference. Set in 170 acres between Belfast and Bangor, the
Museum has recreated over twenty five sites of historical interest
including churches, farmhouses, schools and the magnificent Cultra
Manor. The delegaties will be invited to tour the sire on the second
day of the conference with the speakers and to discuss the

Thieves steal Antwerp museum's only Van Gogh.
You receive this message a second time. There are
a few remarks I want to add and I hope you will reflect on it: is
museum management in general aware of it's responsibillity towards
guards that have to work (often alone) in vulnerable buildings at
night? Nightguards working inside the building ( in the Antwerp
museum there was someone inside at night) are able to response to
alarms within minutes. This creates the risk that they will come
eye-to-eye with criminals. I leave it up to your fantasy what may
happen. It cannot be said often enough. All these electronic alarm
devices are of no value whatever as long as the building structure
allows criminals to get in quickly and get away before police or
security officers arrive. The building structure must be such that
alarm is set off as soon as people try to get in and they still need
a long time to actually enter. These kinds of incidents can be and
should be prevented. Ton Cremers
Thieves steal Antwerp museum's only Van Gogh
10:41 a.m. Sep 04, 1997 Eastern
BRUSSELS, Sept 4 (Reuter) - A highly organized gang of robbers,
probably working on commission, stole Antwerp Fine Arts Museum's only
work by Vincent Van Gogh on Wednesday night, Scientific Director Eric
Vandamme told Reuters on Thursday. The oil-on-paper sketch entitled
``The potato picker'' is valued at 30 million francs ($800,000) .
``But its historic value is far higher than its financial value,''
Vandamme said by telephone from the Belgian port city. ``They were
only in the building two or three minutes and in that time they stole
two paintings,'' Vandamme said. The thieves, who broke in through a
window -- setting off an alarm
as they did so -- also cut ``People in the park'' by Adolf Monticelli
from its frame and were in the process of giving the same treatment
to a work by Edgar Degas when they had to flee. The Monticelli is
valued at between two and four million francs ($54,000 - $108,000).
``They were after our Van Gogh and our French impressionists. They
were very professional. They knew exactly what they wanted, and were
probably working to order,'' Vandamme said. ``You cannot sell the Van
Gogh on the open market. It is destined to be hidden away in the safe
of some collector,'' he added. ($ - 37.53 Belgian Francs) ^REUTER@

Private spat may be driving Gardner talks
Sources say Connor is worried about valuables Youngworth was guarding
By Dan Golden and Judy Rakowsky, Globe Staff,
09/04/97
For months in late 1994, a 40-foot trailer sat unattended in an
Allston parking lot. To the casual onlooker, the truck appeared to
contain only old furniture. But also hidden inside, sources say, were
valuable artifacts and mementos ranging from paintings to Japanese
swords to family photos - all belonging to imprisoned art thief Myles
Connor Jr. Now, sources say, Connor is worried that his prized
possessions have disappeared and that antiques dealer William P.
Youngworth III, who was supposed to be safeguarding the items, is
holding them hostage. Robert Webber, the landlord of Youngworth's
former Allston antiques business, confirmed that Youngworth rented
the parking lot where the trailer was kept. Webber said the trailer's
only visible contents were tattered couches and other used furniture.
But other sources said the contents belonged to Connor and may have
been worth as much as $2 million. When Youngworth moved to Randolph
in late 1994, Webber said, the trailer stayed behind for several
months. Finally, he said, Youngworth paid the rent and moved the
trailer to Randolph. Sources said the trailer disappeared from
Youngworth's Randolph property within the past two months. Now its
contents appear to have vanished -almost as mysteriously as the
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's masterpieces in 1990. Connor and
Youngworth have portrayed themselves as close friends. But behind
their public embrace, their private spat may be driving negotiations
over the possible return of the Gardner masterpieces. It may explain
why Connor, after years of silence, may be willing to talk to federal
authorities about the Gardner theft in a meeting set for today.
Youngworth's lawyer rejects the scenario. ''I do not believe Mr.
Youngworth would hold anything over Myles' head,'' said Howard Lewis.
''From my discussions with Mr. Youngworth, they're very good
friends.'' Connor, sources say, wants his valuables back - and
helping to strengthen Youngworth's bargaining position with
authorities may be the price he has to pay. Connor has a history of
stealing precious artworks and securing the return of others in
exchange for lenient treatment for himself. That track record gives
Connor credentials with federal officials. Sources say that as a
condition for returning to Connor his belongings, Youngworth has
asked the infamous inmate to vouch for Youngworth's credibility on
the Gardner heist. It's unclear how much Connor knows about the
Gardner theft - and how much he has told Youngworth. But people who
know both men say that Youngworth, who has a record of forgery and
making false claims, could use some backup. ''He's an amateur at
best,'' a Connor confidant said of Youngworth. In return for
information on the Gardner theft, Youngworth has sought immunity from
prosecution, the $5 million reward offered by the Gardner, and
Connor's release from the remaining three years of his federal
sentence. Youngworth is scheduled to appear in a state court tomorrow
morning in connection with pending gun and drug charges. Youngworth
first stepped forward to help broker the return of the Gardner
artworks last month after he was indicted on the gun and drug
charges. From prison, Connor then publicly offered to join Youngworth
in facilitating the works' return. Later that month, Boston Herald
reporter Tom Mashberg wrote an account of being taken to a warehouse
in the northeast and briefly shown by flashlight what may have been
one of the Gardner's priceless paintings, Rembrandt's ''The Storm on
the Sea of Galilee.'' In the underworld of art theft, Youngworth, 38,
is said to regard Connor, 54, as his longtime mentor. Sources say
they met when Youngworth was only 17. Connor's son has worked for
Youngworth and lived with him in Randolph last year. Connor pleaded
guilty to the 1974 theft of Andrew Wyeth paintings from a Maine
estate, but arranged the return of a $1 million Rembrandt stolen from
the Museum Fine Arts to avoid prison. According to sources, friends
of Connor have repeatedly gone to Youngworth's Randolph property
seeking Connor's possessions - only to be told that Youngworth had
moved them out of state and would not disclose their whereabouts.
''Youngworth stored a lot of stuff for Myles,'' said a source close
to Connor. ''He better have Myles's stuff or there will be a
problem.'' Ric Kahn of the Globe staff contributed to this report.

Gardner confirms hiring attorney for discussions
By Ric Kahn and Matthew Taylor, Globe Staff,
09/04/97
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and William P. Youngworth III of
Randolph have hired lawyers to open discussions over the return of
millions of dollars of the museum's missing art, a spokeswoman for
the museum said last night. The spokeswoman, Joan Norris, said the
museum yesterday retained former Superior Court judge and US
magistrate Rudolph F. Pierce, of the Boston law firm Goulston and
Storrs. Youngworth, who faces unrelated drug and gun charges, has
also hired a lawyer to represent him in the impending discussions,
Norris said. Norris said she did not know the name of Youngworth's
lawyer, but the Boston Herald identified him as criminal defense
attorney Charles W. Rankin. Lawyers from both sides will meet in the
coming days, Norris said, adding that museum officials now believe
that the painting shown to a Herald reporter was either ''an
extremely good copy or it was the Gardner painting.'' Norris said
Gardner officials came to their conclusion after questioning reporter
Tom Mashberg during a 90-minute meeting. Norris would not speculate
on when the paintings might be returned, but in a nationally
televised news show last night, an ABC reporter said a trustee from
the museum had said the paintings could be returned within a matter
of weeks. On last night's episode of the ABC News program
''Nightline,'' Youngworth, an antiques dealer, said he is the only
one who can lead authorities to the 13 stolen works of art. With his
associate, Myles J. Connor Jr., still imprisoned on art theft
charges, Youngworth told ''Nightline'' in a taped segment that he,
Youngworth, was the person now in a position to help recover the
masterpieces. He said he would assist in return for amnesty, Connor's
release, and millions in reward money. Both Youngworth and Connor
were in prison at the time of the museum heist in 1990. ABC News
investigative correspondent Brian Ross said he was rebuffed when he
asked Youngworth to back up his claim - for example, by allowing a
viewing of one of the purported stolen masterpieces that Mashberg
has said he saw last month. ''He said it was too dangerous to do
again,'' Ross said yesterday evening in a telephone interview. Ross
added that Youngworth told him that the paintings were moved after a
''one-time peek'' at Rembrandt's ''The Storm on the Sea of Galilee''
was given to Mashberg, who also was interviewed for the show.
Ross said Youngworth told him he used Mashberg and the Herald as a
buffer - instead of delivering proof of authenticity, such as a paint
chip, directly to authorities - because he was afraid of being
arrested on the spot.

(Beacon Journal)
Special Tony award stolen from James Thurber's birthplace
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Humorist James Thurber's 1960 Tony Award has
been stolen from his birthplace, police said. Det. Tom Randle said
the medallion was taken from a display case during tours of the
Thurber House last weekend. ``They just picked it up and walked out
with it,'' Randle said Thursday. ``If they want to melt it down, it'd
be worth maybe $300, but really it's priceless.'' Thurber and actor
Burgess Meredith were presented the Tony as a special award for the
comedy ``A Thurber Carnival.'' Thurber authored 32 books and found
fame writing for The New Yorker. He also was known for his
cartoonlike drawings. Thurber died in 1961. Geoffrey Smith, head of
Rare Books and Manuscripts at Ohio State University, told The
Columbus Dispatch for a story Thursday that the Tony can be replaced
with a copy, but much of its value lies in its having been awarded to
Thurber. ``I don't think anyone will get much value out of it,''
Smith said. ``It's not the value of the piece itself, it's the
association.'' OSU also has some of Thurber's manuscripts,
correspondence and about 400 of his drawings. Smith, who is in
contact with other curators and collectors across the country, said
this is an unusual theft for Columbus. ``Theft and fraud,
unfortunately, are rampant,'' Smith said. ``It's not reflective
of Columbus. It's reflective of society at large. ... Here, it's very
rare in fact. ``It's just a nasty little trick to pull.''
