Hello,
Thank you to those who have already received this email and =
forwarded it on to their lists. I updated my email list this weekend =
so sorry if you are getting this a second time. I had one of my =
sculptures stolen from my front yard early on Thursday morning June =
3rd. This guy weighs about two hundred pounds and is made of cast iron. =
When I have installed it for shows it took two people, a dolly, and a =
truck to move it. This had to be done by at least two people with a =
truck and I am guessing it was premeditated. This is a large outdoor =
piece that is around 4' tall so it should be easy to spot. I have spent =
over one hundred hours making it and have a considerable amount of =
money tied up in the materials as well. This has no scrap value so it =
wouldn't be melted down or sold to a scrap metal buyer. It is probably =
sitting in someone's yard or living room. I am offering a reward if we =
can get someone prosecuted for this. I have included two photos of this =
sculpture. I also would appreciate it if you could forward this email =
to everyone on your list who lives in the general Phoenix area. Also =
if I got you onto my list by accident and you don't want me to bug you =
just let me know and I will remove you. =20
thanks in advance for any =
help
Julian Vandercook
Would you like to see what I have been up =
to lately

Do you live in a college town? If so, you might check the fraternities=20
and sororities. My dad had a large metal sculpture stolen from our=20
yard. Apparently a fraternity had taken it and placed it in their=20
sister sorority's living room as a prank. The sorority, afraid of=20
prosecution, dismantled it and took the parts to several junkyards. It=20
was one of the junkyard men who recognized what the pieces came from and =
called Dad (he was a junkyard regular) and filled him in on what had=20
happened, but by then it was too late, the sculpture was in pieces and=20
strewn all over Lawrence. I certainly hope you can find your sculpture!

Unfortunately, there is alot of this going on these days. There has certainly been a lot of Art Theft going here in Santa Fe. A Santo Domingo pot from a Canyon Road gallery, bronze sculptures chained to the patio at a Santa Fe Trail gallery, even an O'Keeffe from the Museum of New Mexico. Hopefully you will be able to receover your piece. There's too much of a illegal market to unscrupulous collectors for much of the stuff here in Santa FE to be recovered (you might be able to see articles about these thefts at http://www.santafenewmexican.com/
