Book Signing with Jamie Wyeth and Bruce Mowday

Join us on Tuesday, December 17, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., for a very special book signing by artist Jamie Wyeth and author Bruce Mowday. The signing, in conjunction with the recent publication of Mowday’s book Stealing Wyeth, will be preceded by a short talk by the author. Those wishing to attend are invited to enter the museum through the Museum Store, on the corner of Main Street and Elm Street in Rockland. This event is free to the public.

In 1982, a gang of thieves broke into the estate of world-famous Andrew Wyeth and stole 15 paintings, including seven by Andrew and six by Jamie Wyeth. Stealing Wyeth, a true crime work published by Barricade Books, tells the story of the Wyeth family of artists, the stolen paintings, the criminals and the law enforcement team that recovered the paintings and brought the criminals to justice.

Mowday and Wyeth will be signing Stealing Wyeth, copies of which are on sale in the Museum Store. In addition, Jamie Wyeth has agreed to only sign one other item out of a selection of three that the Museum Store will make available. Attendees are encouraged to make their purchases in the Museum Store in advance. The store is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
