“Small Recompense”
CodHead is remembering Nigel Ward’s Freedom of Information requests and campaign to locate 23 works of fine art listed as ‘missing’ (plus another one, listed as ‘stolen’) from the Scarborough Borough Fine Art Inventory. This most recent donation, from a mysterious ‘Mr Small’ (unless it is a masterpiece of a very high order) may be small recompense for even Sir Anthony Van Dyck’s ‘James Stuart, Duke of Richmond’ alone – whereabouts of which are allegdly unknown, though reputedly in a public collection in the United Sates.
