Not a piece of conceptual art.

Five weeks ago we reported that two paintings by BenCab had apparently been stolen in transit. Balqis asked for an update. Voila, the news from BenCab.

“No news since Susan Baik’s email of 6 April. Attached are photos she sent of the tube, as she found it…notice that they didn’t bother to put the cover back on! Take note of the message on the tape… :-(

“The painting is still lost. FedEx rushed to close the case and sent a check amount of US$100 to LA gallery. I met with Singapore Police again last week. It’s now in the hands of a senior agent, who said the investigation is done. He’s seen the CCTV and interviewed the operation workers. He is now awaiting approval from his boss to release the report.

“It sounds like the tube was empty when it arrived in Singapore, but I’ll need to see the final report. LA gallery’s insurance company is still investigating the case.

“So nothing has changed since my last email.”
