The man was captured on CCTV breaking into the Averard Hotel, a derelict building often used as a cultural event space, around 2 a.m. on Wednesday.
Possibly fashioning himself after Thomas Crown or a Donna Tartt protagonist, an unknown man waltzed into a pop-up art show at the Frieze art fair in London last week, absconding with a painting worth $20,000 in the dead of night.
Strangely, according to Artnet, it was more than six hours before he was captured again, leaving the hotel with German artist Sarah Księska’s 2021 workis that the event’s organizers—affiliated with Ramiken, a downtown New York gallery—recognized the man as a visitor to the show the previous night. “I put out a £10,000 reward to give the thieves a chance to return the painting by proxy without getting in trouble,” Ramiken founder Mike Egan told the outlet.
