“Its called Woman-Ochre because you can see there's a prevalence of yellows, oranges, and reds in it,” University of Arizona Museum of Art Director Olivia Miller describes the 1950s painting by artist Willem de Kooning.
TUCSON, Ariz. — “Its called Woman-Ochre because you can see there's a prevalence of yellows, oranges, and reds in it,” University of Arizona Museum of Art Director Olivia Miller describes the 1950s painting by artist Willem de Kooning.
The work calls the university museum home. But before reaching its current display, Woman-Ochre went on quite the journey.From being stolen in 1985, to finally undergoing restoration and returning to the University of Arizona 37 years later, it’s a painting that has attracted the attention of many. “We’ve had criminal justice students, journalism students, a lot of them are interested not just in the theft itself but in the way the story has been told,” said Miller.“It’ll be here until May 20th,” Miller said. From there, the painting will have a big homecoming.
“Its actually going to move back upstairs and its going to hang on the same wall it was stolen from,” Miller said. “That gallery is now being named the 'Manzanita Ridge Gallery' and that is in honor of the three men in Silver City, New Mexico who found the painting and returned it.”RELATED TEAM COVERAGE:Heidi Alagha is an anchor and reporter for KGUN 9.
