Art thief escapes, but dropped eBay receipt leads to suspect
The owner of a center city art gallery said a receipt dropped by an art thief has been traced to a man who worked at another gallery and was suspected of stealing pieces there.
The thief stole an $18,000 Keith Haring screenprint of late German artist Joseph Beuys from the I. Brewster gallery and fled on a bicycle in the March 7 snow.
"We were all running after him," said Nicky Brewster, gallery owner.
Brewster said the name on a printout of an eBay receipt dropped by the thief was traced to the other gallery, and that gallery's former employee fit the description of his thief and had bragged about an association with the late Haring. Brewster said police were looking for the suspect.
