A painting by iconic artist Margaret Keane that was stolen from a Honolulu dental clinic nearly 50 years ago was turned over today to a representative of the original owners, one of whom is a woman depicted in the painting when she was a child.
Officials of Heritage Auctions, the largest fine art and collectibles auction house founded in the U.S., turned over the artwork, Eyes Upon You, to family representative Robert Wittman during a news conference held at the auction house s headquarters in Dallas.
The painting was stolen from the dental clinic in November 1972.
The oil painting sold for $35, 000 at a December 2020 auction. According to Heritage, the work was consigned to the auction house by a family who purchased it from a New Jersey gallery in the 1980s.
