Program Description

Event Details

In 1985, Willem de Kooning's oil painting Woman-Ochre vanished from the University of Arizona Museum of Art in Tucson. The $160 million work of art remained missing until 2017, when it was found hanging in the former home of Jerry and Rita Alter, a deceased New Mexico married couple. The film features interviews with the Alters' family members and those involved in the painting's disappearance and recovery.

Registration is required and begins on October 1. You may register online, in person at the Ask a Librarian Desk or by calling 412-366-811, extension 113.

Snacks will be provided.
