An Oscar Murillo canvas was taken from the exhibition “Forever Now: Painting in an Atemporal World" at MoMA last week by a visitor, a MoMA representative has officially confirmed.

"Last week, one was removed by a visitor," press director Margaret Doyle told artnet News in an email.

Doyle further claimed that MoMA security identified the visitor and it was "quickly returned without incident or damage to the work" and that all eight of the canvases by Murillo in the show "are on view in the galleries."
