Vol d'une toile de Syd Barrett

Citation :

We are very sad to have to announce that the great event that was the Art and Letters exhibition at has been marred by the theft of one of Syd Barrett’s paintings from the Idea Generation Gallery. It was Syd’s self-portrait which he gave to Libby Gausden-Chisman in 1962. It is 31 × 23cm in size.

Libby is understandably devastated and has said “I am very upset at the theft of the painting, it has huge personal value to me and I am appealing for its safe return.”

The painting was stolen on Saturday afternoon between 2.15 – 3pm. We are appealing for anyone who knows anything that may be useful to come forward to try and help recover the painting.

A reward of £2,000 has been offered for information leading to the painting’s safe return – so if you do have any information about this please help and contact the Idea Generation Gallery on Tel: 020 7749 6850.

En espérant que la toile revienne rapidement dans les mains de Libby.

Tu parles, elle va vite être revendue et on ne la retrouvera jamais ou alors dans un sale état.

Si je tenais le sal**** qui a fait ça...

C'est pas moi !


Nick aussi s'est fait voler quelque chose il y a peu : lors d'une compétition de vroom-vroom en Afrique du Sud, on lui a volé ses chaussures de course, fabriquées spécialement pour lui par Puma (il n'en existe que deux paires dans le monde) :




Il a lancé un appel à les retrouver via sa page facebook et son compte twitter.

Bon, apparmemment, le tableau a été retrouvé
