密尔沃基房东蒂姆·德茨在清理一套被驱逐租户的空公寓时，发现了2018年从当地艺术画廊失窃的毕加索蚀刻版画《Torero》[1]。这幅作品经鉴定确认为画廊主人比尔·德林德所报告的失窃版画，目前已由密尔沃基警察局保管，警方已介入调查[1]。
该版画是毕加索仅存的30幅已知签名版本之一[1]。2018年被盗时，该作品的估值为35000至50000美元[1]。德林德在重获该版画时表示："我不敢相信。我当时目瞪口呆。"[1]版画背面仍贴有德林德美术品评估公司的标签，被发现时布满灰尘[1]。
根据法律规定，盗窃案和财产犯罪的诉讼时效通常为6年[1]。
A Picasso etching titled "Torero" that was stolen from a Milwaukee art gallery in 2018 has been recovered.[1] Landlord Tim Detz discovered the work while clearing out a vacant apartment after a tenant's eviction, and it was subsequently identified as the piece reported missing by gallery owner Bill Derlind.[1] The etching, which bore a layer of dust when found, still retained a label from Derlind Fine Art Appraisals on its back.[1] The Milwaukee Police Department has taken custody of the artwork as the investigation proceeds.[1]
The recovered etching is one of only 30 known signed versions by Picasso.[1] At the time of the 2018 theft, the work was valued between $35,000 and $50,000.[1] Upon learning of the discovery, Derlind expressed his shock, stating: "I can't believe it. I was just blown away."[1] The statute of limitations for theft and property crimes typically extends to six years.[1]
