$10 million reward offered by the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum extended indefinitely.
The empty frames still hang on the walls of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. A reminder of the March 18, 1990 theft, where, in 81 minutes, thieves posing as police officers tied up two security guards and made off with 13 works of art.
The artworks have not been recovered, despite the healthy reward of $10 million dollars originally set to expire at midnight December 31, 2017.
The following are the thirteen stolen works of art which are still missing:
Landscape with an Obelisk by Govert Teuniszoon Flinck (1638)
Cortege aux Environs de Florence by Hilaire German Edgar Degas (c. 1857–1860)
La Sortie de Pesage by Hilaire German Edgar Degas (date unknown)
Program for an Artistic Soirée 1 by Hilaire German Edgar Degas (1884)
Program for an Artistic Soirée 2 by Hilaire German Edgar Degas (1884)
Three Mounted Jockeys by Hilaire German Edgar Degas (c. 1885–1888)
Chez Tortoni by Édouard Manet (c. 1878–1880)
A Lady and Gentleman in Black by Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1633)
Self-Portrait by Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (c. 1634)
The Storm on the Sea of Galilee by Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1633)
The Concert by Johannes Vermeer (c. 1664–1666)
A bronze eagle finial (c. 1813–1814)
An ancient Chinese gu (c. 1200–1100 BCE)
This week, Steve Kidder, President of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum board of trustees, announced that the board has approved an indefinite extension to the $10 million dollar reward for information leading to the recovery of all 13 works in good condition.
