Experts at the Getty spent three years repairing “Woman-Ochre,” a painting by Willem de Kooning that was stolen from The University of Arizona Museum of Art.
In 2017, David Van Auker, the co-owner of a furniture and antiques store in Silver City, New Mexico, paid $2,000 for a collection of items an estate sale at a home in a small town outside of the city.
"The customer thought it might be worth far more and wanted to pay us fairly for it," Van Auker told CNBC."We searched Google [and] … found an article about the theft."Miller was talking to a colleague in her office when she heard a strange conversation over the museum's security radio. A security guard said there was a man on the phone who claimed to have the museum's stolen painting.
"Every time he sent a photo, we were getting more and more excited," she said."He said that the painting had lines across it as if it had been rolled up."

Willem de Kooning's"Woman-Ochre" suffered extensive paint loss, shown here in horizontal lines, likely caused by the painting being peeled from a secondary wax canvas and then rolled up.

Pay raises aren't keeping up with inflation - KRLD NewsThe incredible rate of inflation is squeezing North Texans. And even among those who have been able to secure pay raises, they aren't keeping up with inflation. A Bankrate survey showed that a majority of working Americans (55%) who have gotten a raise, say their income has not kept up with the increase in household expenses due to inflation. 'Inflation that has run at the highest levels in more than four decades has stripped buying power away from households of all walks of life,' says Bankrate chief financial analyst Greg McBride. 'Even half of those receiving a pay raise, getting a promotion, or taking on new responsibilities said that higher pay falls short of the increase in household expenses.' KRLD's John Liddle caught up with McBride to get more of his thoughts. Image: Lazy_Bear / Getty Images
