Artist, Fine Art Specialist, busy mom and home decorating diva Kim Counts drops by once a week to share art facts, decor tips and more.
You remember last week's posting about that tragic art theft from Zurich's Buehrle Collection? Great news! Swiss police have recovered 2 of the 4 famous stolen paintings.
According to a recent BBC article, Monet's Poppies near Vetheuil and Van Gogh's Chestnut in Bloom were found in the back seat of a white car parked (of all places!) outside a local psychiatric hospital. As you might expect, the museum director was extremely pleased to have recovered the paintings, and he's hopeful the others will turn up as well.
In the interim, perhaps you've been wondering why ArtSelect does not offer fine art reproductions of these images on our site? Much as we'd love to offer prints of every single Monet or Van Gogh painting ever created, sometimes it's just not possible, due to estate and museum ownership rights, printing permission, etc.
Having said that, though -- we do have quite sizable collections for both artists in our online gallery. And the good news is, you don't have to steal them to enjoy them on your walls!
Be sure to check out our beautiful selection of Monet titles, like this one:
And stop by our Van Gogh collection as well:
See you next week, and may the 2 missing titles reappear!
