This image displays a collection of newspaper clippings mounted on a single, aged, beige-colored paper or scrapbook page. The clippings are related to the theft of a Picasso artwork from the Fogg Art Museum.
The most prominent article, located at the top, is titled “Picasso Stolen From Fogg” by Joyce Heard, dated around March 31, 1972. It details how a guard discovered the central portion of Picasso’s 1914 collage, “Small Composition,” missing from an exhibition. The report states the theft occurred between 12:45 and 1:00 p.m. The Fogg director, Daniel Robbins, confirmed the thief tore the central panel from its frame by hand or with a knife. The painting, on loan from Fine Arts 13, was valued at over $100,000 and was considered “priceless.” Police were investigating, and the museum had no insurance on the piece.
Another clipping, positioned to the right of the main article, confirms: “Picasso art stolen at Fogg Museum,” with the attribution “Boston Globe, 3/31/72.” It reiterates the painting’s description and value and notes the Picasso signature was on the portion left on the frame.
Below the main headline is a smaller clipping with the bold, partially visible title “MUSEUM OF CINEMA.” Below that, two additional articles are visible. One, by William Germain Dosley, appears to be an obituary or profile of a dancer named “Degas” and his relationship to ballet. Another short clipping discusses a weather forecast for “Cambridge,” noting it was cloudy.
The clippings are taped or glued to the page in a somewhat haphazard, overlapping arrangement, giving the impression of a personal or journalistic scrapbook assembled to document the event. The page and clippings show visible signs of aging — yellowed paper, slight creases, and tape residue — underscoring their historical nature.
