In 1961, a painting by the American artist Willem de Kooning, titled "Woman-Ochre," was stolen from the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The theft occurred when a man and a woman disguised as museum patrons managed to remove the artwork from its frame and escape. The painting remained missing for decades until it was rediscovered in 2017 in a New Mexico home, leading to a legal battle over its ownership.
