The Conservator's Sticky Note That Revealed a Stolen Abell

The moment a volunteer found a small taped yellow note saying "The varnish on this one is seventeen years wrong," a modest 16x20 oil attributed to Thomas Abell stopped being ordinary - insured for $48,000, on loan for 22 years, and quietly altered. How did a conservator's handwriting and a UV lamp expose a switch that left the original missing for about 14 months?
In this episode, we follow the sequence of events revealed by conservator notes, UV and raking-light findings, invoices, and missing reports to trace how one professional's observation changed the painting's documented history - and why the Abell on the church wall was not what records and custodians believed.
Person: Gail Kowalski
Date: October 14, 2009
Person: Lisa Weaver
Size: approximately 16 by 20 inches
Insurance: $48,000
- The sticky note was yellow, small, taped to the lower-right corner, and read "The varnish on this one is seventeen years wrong."
- The painting had hung on the wall for 22 years on loan from the Hester Estate.
- Under UV light, the upper two-thirds fluoresced greenish-gold while the lower area was nearly dark with faint blueish-white fluorescence.
- Lisa Weaver had previously worked on the painting in 2001 for two days at the request of dealer Frank Aldridge.
- By the time the FBI knocked, the original Abell had been missing for roughly 14 months.
