Feds Manhandle Art in Chicago

In yet another case of art-related investigatory mayhem, the feds on Thursday swooped down upon Kass/Meridian, a Chicago contemporary gallery, as part of what the Chicago Sun-Times reported was “an investigation into an alleged scam involving galleries in Chicago and other cities.” For more details, read the above-linked article.
But also take a look at this photo, accompanying an earlier story about this incident in Friday’s Chicago Tribune. You simply must see this for yourself: I’ll just say that it involves snow and the trunk of a car. It may or may not involve fakes, which the Sun-Times indicates may be the target of these exertions. Still, if even only one of these artworks is the real deal, the photo is very unsettling.
Will someone please give federal investigators a crash course in art handling? Or better yet, can they please enlist professionals to do that part of the job? They might also want to consider whether they really want to invite the press to record such bumbling.
Another day, another art raid. Wait a minute…who’s that knocking on my door?
