Betty Cunningham and Nicodim galleries are among the half-dozen targets.Surveillance footage of the group of boys that have purportedly robbed several galleries over the past week.
“Couple of kids asking real questions about the artwork,” wrote gallerist Cindy Rucker on the NADA Noodle, an online forum for members of the New Art Dealers Alliance. “Unfortunately, two young men came into the gallery yesterday posing as art students and managed to steal staff personal items,” read an email from the Lower East Side’s Betty Cunningham Gallery to its staff. The note went on to reveal that one such item was a wallet that had been taken from behind the front desk while another member of the group distracted staff.
If you've seen these back of heads, call the local authorities immediately.
nothing that some midnight basketball can't fix
This is a movie plot! Cast them as themselves immediately

Imagine art thieves managing to sell art that the galleries can’t manage to sell 😭🤣
Wow! Who’s their fence?
Genius just don’t touch my shit !
Convincing art students
Who do they sell the art to
We must protect art students from the pitfalls of capitalism - ban all art students from galleries !
ri_designs You have to value artwork very highly to think that it’s worth going to jail to steal it. Good on these youngins for supporting the arts!!!!
This is fascinating. Sounds like the story will make a great screenplay/movie.
The best artists steal

It’s ok for the galleries to exploit street art. But it’s a problem when the streets return the favor🤣
Bros are cunning, try every angle to get some coin. Do you think they want the art? That would be fresh!
Indeed! It was good casual fun these Thursday late night 'Drag King' events at the local dive in Humboldt Park Chicago. No harm done folks were entertained, the entertainers showed off their talents, and so a good time was had by all. Note: Children were not allowed.
I like that they are actually interested and engaged, not simply bound by the commercial aspect. 😘🥴💜
Performance Art?

My daughter works at a gallery in NYC,she witnessed this. It’s true
