	Nine paintings worth $10 million that were stolen in one of the 'largest art heists in Los Angeles history' are recovered as the thief tried to sell them By ASSOCIATED PRESS PUBLISHED: 01:54 GMT, 18 December 2014 Authorities have recovered $10 million worth of art — including paintings by Chagall and Diego Rivera — that were stolen in one of Los Angeles' largest art heists.

The works, including Chagall's 'Les Paysans' and Diego Rivera's 'Mexican Peasant,' were among a dozen swiped from the Encino home of a wealthy real estate investor on the morning of Aug. 24, 2008, by a crook or crooks who entered through the unlocked kitchen door, police said. +3 Recovered art: Federal agents and police in Los Angeles have recovered nine paintings worth millions of dollars that were stolen from the home of an elderly couple six years ago, including works by Marc Chagall and Diego Rivera Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2878509/10-million-stolen-Los-Angeles-art-recovered.html#ixzz3MFGIHTTs

	Hi Miguel, These paintings may be worth millions, but I can't honestly say that I would want to own any of them. Here in the United States there is a program called "Antique Road Show." People bring in things that they had bought or found at bargain stores to find out if they are worth anything. I am amazed when people bring in sketches or paintings that were found in dumpsters or yard sales that are worth thousands of dollars.

	I am afraid you are right, Mike; I wouldn't pay a cent myself for most of them. Unfortunately it is the name of an artist that mostly sells nowadays, irrespective of how good they are - and conversely, many works of great artists authentically good but unknown to the public may remain unsold for the most part. How different from the great masters of the past but even they, for all their great merit, had to get a protector's patronage to survive.

	Miguel, I am so glad to hear that you would pay anything for them either. It is like you said you pay for the name. Crazy.

	I agree. Also, there are those that did good work, however not that many. Therefore, if you came across an artist that was known to have painted less then fifty paintings in his or her lifetime, and you had one of the few known paintings of the artist, that would cause the price to go up on that painting. These particular paintings look like the results of the artists involved being on a very bad trip as they were producing these works of non art. Perhaps they were visiting other planets at the time. GOD BLESS YOU ~Mike~ http://www.countryvalues65.com/alienagenda Maybe they were meeting someone
