In 1985, Willem de Kooning’s Woman-Ochre—one of the most valuable paintings of the 20th century—was cut from its frame at the University of Arizona Museum of Art. Thirty-two years later, the painting was found in a home in New Mexico.
Please join us for a screening of The Thief Collector, a documentary that tells this thrilling story.
