"Police carrying out a crackdown on the Camorra organised crime group have recovered two Van Gogh paintings stolen 14 years ago. "

Never understood the logic behind stealing such popular, well-known works of art. Who in their right mind would buy it. I mean, you couldn't display it on your wall, at least not wisely.

She was there when I was there back in the Seventies...someone told me ther has been an iteration of Humpty Dumpty there sine WWII.

The guys that buy it don’t hang it on their living room wall. They keep it in their vault where only a few get to see it.

I am not an art guy but I could spend an afternoon viewing Vincent’s work.

Good on the cops for this recovery.
