The video submitted through Wilson features a timestamp that notes it was tackled September 29, about a week after the program opened up.
Wilson said to ARTnews in an e-mail that there was actually currently a police investigation into the theft. "I'm really rather entertained by the video because it believes that an artwork itself," he composed.
He highlighted the ways that the burglary was actually odd, revealing that Google has itself been actually indicted of duplicating publications without permission. (In 2013, a legal action centered around just that was disregarded by a Nyc judge due to the fact that "society advantages" coming from having these text messages created quicker available.).
Inquired if he possessed any concepts regarding why the job was actually taken, Wilson pointed out, "As you understand it is actually challenging to resell a taken art work, so I imagine this guy either wants it for themself or has an individual vendetta against me, the establishment, or what the work embodies.".
