A painting found at a Kansas postal facility last month is a $1-million Marc Chagall that vanished June 7 from the Jewish Museum in Manhattan, the museum said.
“It has been authenticated as the missing Chagall by Bella Meyer, a granddaughter of Marc Chagall,” said Anne Scher, the museum’s director of communications.
The unfinished painting, “Study for ‘Over Vitebsk,’ ” is owned by an unidentified private collector in Russia who lent it to the museum for an exhibition of the Russian-born artist’s early work.
Authorities said the museum received a ransom note that demanded peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
