However it happened, it’s clear those who stole a world-famous portrait of Sir Winston Churchill from the Château Laurier planned the heist meticulously.
Art heists don't surprise Czegledi, but she was surprised to hear this portrait was stolen, "because the subject matter is so specific.”Historian Andrew Roberts, who wrote a biography of the former British prime minister, called it “a rather bizarre story.”“That said … I do believe that it is probably the most famous single photograph of any political individual, ever. I think it’s an extraordinary piece.
The resulting image of Churchill standing with one hand on a chair, another on his waist, scowling into the camera, captured the mood of the Allied nations. He appears defiant and determined. Scholars say the photo steeled the Allies' resolve. The story has captured the imaginations of many around the world. It’s not every day an art heist happens in one of the most well-known buildings in the national capital.
They bound and gagged three security guards, with one thief holding them at gunpoint as the others went through the museum and gathered up 55 pieces. Among them were 17 paintings, including a Rembrandt.
Czegledi said that amounts to a poor understanding of both the scope of the problem and the intangible value of art.
Did Karsh hand print this thing or something? I mean, even I have a copy of this photograph..
Churchill starved 3 million Indians to death. He is no hero for anyone.
The best art is Dogecoin Memes...
If we have the negatives (which we do)... and we decided to reprint the photo enough times, would the value of the the one taken not go down? Just a thought 😉.
