Police Recover 12 Tamayo Paintings
From Times Wire Reports
Police recovered 12 paintings by Rufino Tamayo, one of Mexico’s foremost painters, that were stolen from an exhibition last week. The paintings--valued at $2.5 million--were in black plastic bags when police found them during a raid at a Mexico City apartment complex, a police official said. He said the suspects fled and no arrests were made. The paintings’ authenticity was confirmed by a curator from the Lopez Quiroga gallery, where the robbery took place Thursday.
