Update on the Stolen Molinari Paintings

Howdy!

Pieces seem to be falling in place, I got some more information on the stolen Molinari paintings. Apparently they were never sold and come from the estate of Guido Molinari. Part of Guy Molinari‘s inheritance from his father, stolen from his house in Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci, I still don’t know when they were stolen. If anyone reading this knows anything more, please don’t hesitate to share.

It will definitely be interesting to see if the thief (or thieves) try to sell them. Because I can’t see anyone touching them with a ten foot pole, unless they are unaware of the theft. Unfortunately given how the Sûreté du Québec isn’t the most forthcoming organization, this is a distinct possibility.

As per normal, if you have any information about their whereabouts, call 911. Or email art.alert@surete.qc.ca.

And if you need to jog your memory on what they look like, here they are again:

  1. Admiring the persistence you put into your site and in depth information you provide. It’s good to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same outdated rehashed information. Wonderful read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to my Google account.

  2. This sure smells like a scheme to get a buzz about this Molinari estate.
    I would not be surprised if within 6 months we hear there is an exhibition somewhere on this guy, and six months later there is a big Heffel auction…
    Classic.
