At right, the empty space where Henri Matisse’s painting “Reading Girl in White and Yellow” was hanging at the Kunsthal museum in Rotterdam, Netherlands before it was stolen on Tuesday.

I had the pleasure of looking at those pictures with Ken when I visited his office. Someone has some great pictures and I hope they appreciate them. But Ken, if anyone sees those pictures now, they will ask, “Did Ken Newhams take these pictures?” It’s going to be very difficult for the thief to get away with this.

Oh Ken, I’m so sorry. At least the thief knew a good picture when he saw one . . .
