How’s this for heard it from a friend who, heard from a friend who? The sfist is reporting that unaesthetic is posting that the two pieces of Barry McGee art featured in the picture above were stolen from the SF RVCA store.
The above two pieces of art were stolen from the SF RVCA store two days ago (not during the opening). They are from permanent/private collections and, without going into detail, have a great deal of sentimental value to the artists.
If you have any information about this, or means of having the artwork returned – there will be absolutely no questions asked and no legal efforts made to follow up on you or any involved parties. They just want the pieces back. You may contact me privately (art@unaesthetic.net), any of the RVCA staff (415-701-7822), or set up an anonymous third party to communicate through.
That pretty much sums it up. By the way, we love stories that allow us to tag them Art, Crime, Fashion. It just seems to right.
