# Picasso etching stolen in 2018 found in vacant Wisconsin apartment 2026-08-15T02:07:09+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A rare signed Pablo Picasso etching stolen from a Milwaukee gallery in 2018 has been recovered after a landlord found it in a vacant apartment. Landlord Tim Dertz told local media he spotted the framed print in a dust-covered apartment where a tenant had been evicted. An antique dealer friend identified it as Picasso's Torero, matching a work reported stolen from Bill DeLind's gallery. Gallery owner Bill DeLind said the artwork still carried his former business sticker and was valued at $35,000-$50,000. Milwaukee police have the etching while its owner resolves insurance claims. The investigation continues despite Wisconsin's six-year statute of limitations for property crimes. DeLind noted his late business partner had urged police each year on the theft anniversary to publicise the case. ## Coverage - livemint.com Tags: Milwaukee, Pablo Picasso Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/picasso-etching-stolen-in-2018-found-in-vacant-wisconsin-apartment/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
