A fascinating Australian story about a man who is certain he has unearthed a painting by the renowned Australian painter Lloyd Rees. While this isn’t exactly about stolen art, it is about a painting that went missing, and whose provenance was lost. It depicts just how obsessed we can become with a single image. 

From Kaaron's list on stolen art.
