MELBOURNE.-The National Gallery of Victoria outlined details of its investigations into the missing, now reported stolen, Richard Bonington painting Low Tide at Boulogne (1818-28). Media reports erroneously suggested that the NGV has done very little to recover the work during the last decade. Gerard Vaughan, Director NGV said: “All appropriate protocols and processes were followed as the Gallery sought to locate the work, including discussions with the Trustees and Arts Ministry from 2003 with further advice to the Government, police and media from 2003–2004. “more:National Gallery of Victoria corrects details of missing Bonington painting investigation |
