The fate of the G. Gaul painting appraised in Savannah, a visit
to a painting restorer, the wreck of the steamboat
Arabia and interviews of Gardner Museum staff and the
FBI in connection with the theft in 1990.
ANTIQUES ROADSHOW FYI updates viewers on the fate of the G. Gaul
painting appraised at the ROADSHOW Savannah event in 2003 for
$15,000 to $25,000. Then, viewers see how conservators restore old
paintings to their original glory when FYI correspondent Clay
Reynolds pays a visit to painting restorer Judith Tartt. Along the
Missouri River in Kansas City, FYI steps back in time to 1856 and
the wreck of the steamboat Arabia, discovered by salvagers
in 1987. Now the basis for a museum, the Arabia's cargo
provides a well-preserved snapshot of mid-19th-century life.
Finally, FYI revisits one of the biggest art heists in recent
memory, the Gardner Museum theft of 1990, with interviews of museum
staff and the FBI.
