SANTA FE, N.M., Dec. 30 (UPI) -- New Mexico State Police officials said Monday they were circulating information to deter anyone from buying a stolen $1 million Georgia O'Keeffe painting.
Deputy Chief Richard Newman said the state police were circulating information to the U.S. art community concerning the theft of the painting, "Special No. 21, Palo Duro Canyon," valued at $1 million, to try to prevent someone from purchasing it.
An early abstract by O'Keeffe, the painting disappeared from Santa Fe's Museum of Fine Arts last week. O'Keeffe, who died in 1986, generally is considered one of the top U.S. woman artists.
Stuart Ashman, an official of the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs, described the 1917 oil-on-board painting as "among a group of important paintings" depicting the landscape area in Canyon, Texas, where O'Keeffe headed the art department at West Texas State Normal School. The artist later located in New Mexico.
The painting was lifted from the wall of the museum, one of eight state-run museums in New Mexico, during exhibition hours. It was donated to the museum in 1993.
