[Updated] An 'Absolute' theft at the Woodward Gallery

Our friend Curt Hoppe let us know about an apparent theft last night at the Woodward Gallery on Eldridge Street between Broome and Delancey...

Per the gallery's Facebook page:

ATTENTION Stolen Artwork!! REWARD being offered for information leading to the return of artwork from our Project Space last night. (MOODY "Absolute Addict", acrylic on wood panel, 68 x 44 inches)

Updated:
We spoke with someone from Woodward ... turns out the piece was part of an Outdoor Project Space. Someone removed the artwork with a drill. Per the Woodward folks: "We have the area monitored with camera surveillance. We have filed a report with the NYPD, provided video evidence of the theft and now have detectives on the case. Someone was very silly in thinking they would not be caught."
