Lori Earley Theft Announcement
ImageGreetings everyone,
 we have some very unfortunate news to report.
On Wednesday, February 27th at approximately 5pm, an original drawing by Lori Earley was stolen directly off the wall of her current solo exhibition, Fade to Gray, which just opened at the gallery this past weekend. We are releasing this as our official public announcement to alert our clients, collectors, and friends, of this incident—spreading awareness in the hopes that someone comes forward with information leading to the whereabouts of the missing piece.
This drawing “Untitled†was the only piece without a title in the current exhibition. The unframed dimensions are 10"H x 8"W, and when stolen, it was in an elaborate white frame, measuring 16"H x 14"W with about a 3†depth. We have included a photo of the drawing in question, for your reference and identification.
Both the gallery and the artist are extremely upset and disappointed by this theft. We are quite shocked that someone would brazenly steal from us in the middle of the day. We apologize to anyone planning on seeing the exhibition (which is up through March 22, 2008), who will experience the show without the missing piece.
We have a description of the suspect and are currently working with police to try to identify him. Our incident coincided with reports of additional robberies that occurred in galleries on the 4th and 2nd floors of our building, within the same time period. A man fitting the same description was seen in all three galleries, just moments before each robbery occurred.
All reports confirm that the suspect in question is a white male, approximately 6’2†tall, in his mid-to-late thirties. He was seen wearing a blue baseball hat with a navy blue backpack, and he spoke with a very heavy New York accent.
We would greatly appreciate any help you might have with finding the missing work. If you or anyone you know has information as to who might have committed this theft or leads on possible location of the stolen drawing, please contact the gallery immediately at (212) 243-3822 or info@jonathanlevinegallery. We are offering a reward for its return.
We greatly appreciate your attention and cooperation regarding this matter.
Thank you,
Jonathan LeVine

another daylight robbery, by Photoxtc on Mar 2, 2008 5:20:43 GMT 1, Just crazy... I got this same email from Lev and was truly shocked that someone would have the balls to do that... I agree with Ninja, I think we may see more and more of this in the near future, that or we'll some serious beefed up security... 
I think they took the picture of the piece in question off the site for some reason???
