Collectors Kritcher Larry (Larry Kritcher) from Florida and Tayrum Eve (Eve Thyrum) from Texas are suing the Manhattan gallery of Illustration House, accusing her of stealing four works by American artist Norman Rockwell (Norman Rockwell).

According to plaintiffs, in 1995 they gave the first five works in the restoration of Rockwell Center in Boston and then in New York Illustration House gallery for sale. The gallery was promised to gain for the restored work up to 76 thousand dollars. One of five paintings sold in 1996 to 9000, of which, after deduction of gallery commission collectors received 7.8 thousand. And the other four paintings and gone. But, surprisingly, the owners have suspected something was wrong only after 16 years. They recently filed for a gallery to court, accusing her of stealing employees.

Now the cost of the four missing pieces Rockwell, according to the court case, is 228 thousand dollars. In addition, Kritcher Tayrum and sent to Illustration House for implementation as an illustration of Matt Clark (Matt Clark) and Robert Riggs (Robert Riggs). In total, taking into account the cost of missing work and legal fees collectors expect to receive from the defendants (the gallery, its founder and president), 500 thousand dollars.
