A Manhattan art gallery needs help finding the person caught on camera apparently stealing part of an outdoor display.
Surveillance footage shows the alleged thief removing a piece of art outside the Woodward Gallery on the Lower East Side on Tuesday.
"Absolute Addict" is by a Brooklyn street artist. It’s worth between $5,000 and $6,000.
"We've never had a problem with the artist space. I think that people really respect it because it is something that is offered for free to the public. And in this regard, it's really been an insult to the neighborhood,” said Kristine Woodward, owner of the gallery.
“I really don't want to see anyone get into trouble, but I'd like to get my painting back," said Moody, the artist.
The gallery is offering a $500 reward for information that leads to the return of the painting.
