Art Stolen From Grosse Pointe Woman Recovered, Feds Seek Suspects

GROSSE POINTE, MI — Anne Spivak wasn't alive to see the return of six pieces of contemporary art with more than $100,000 that was stolen from her. She died five months after the art was taken from her home in 2017, while she was bedridden. She was 86.

The Associated Press reported recently that authorities have returned the art — a series of screenprints and lithographs, but no arrests have been made in the case and federal investigators are hoping they can get a tip from the public that would help identify the culprits.

“Crimes such as home invasion and robbery targeting the elderly and vulnerable are among the most despicable,” acting U.S. Attorney Saima Mohsin said, according to The Associated Press.

The art was created by Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns and others, according to The AP.

"Front Roll" and "Spot," 1964 Robert Rauschenberg lithographs; "Passage I," a 1966 Jasper Johns lithograph, and Paul Schwartz's "PS95" were recovered by FBI agents from the Benjaman Galley, according to The Detroit Free Press.

A 1975 piece by Malcolm Morley was recovered in Albany, New York. Another was found in Philadelphia, The Free Press reported.
