This story is the stuff of film. An Auguste Rodin statue that was stolen from a Beverly Hills mansion 24 years ago was finally recovered after it popped up at a Christie's auction. The work, which was estimated to sell for around $100,000, had been consigned and was subsequently withdrawn.
Now, following a settlement brokered with the help of London-based Art Recovery Group led by CEO Christopher Marinello, the statue, Young Girl With a Serpent (circa 1886), will be consigned for sale this year, with no claims to hinder it.
