Museum reports missing artworks

A North Carolina museum that wishes to remain anonymous (please note that any comments or responses can be sent to the NCMC webmaster, webmaster@ncmuseums.org, and they will be passed back to the museum) has recently discovered that two pieces of art are missing from its display area. Please be aware that these items could appear on the market. The museum would greatly appreciate passing along the word to colleagues, collectors, dealers or anyone else.

Specifically, the missing objects are:
1). a Joan Miro black & white lithograph, titled, El Saltador (The Jumper), 1948, which was framed in a 1-inch round profile shiny gold frame measuring 16 x 20 inches. The abstract image depicts organic black shapes on a white background. The image area is 9 x 12.5 inches and the sheet size is 14 x 18". The print is glued or mounted to cardboard. It is signed and dated 1948, and numbered 6/50. The accession number is 1986.1.5.
2). an untitled ink drawing on paper by Yves Tanguy, which was framed in a 3/4-inch flat profile antique gold frame measuring approximately 8.75 x 16.5 inches. The sheet size is 4 x 11.75 inches. The drawing, which depicts a typical Tanguy mechanical fantasy construction, is initialled "Y.T" in the lower right of the image area. The accession number 1996.7.12.

If anyone wishes to pass a message back to the museum, as noted above, please e-mail webmaster@ncmuseums.org and the webmaster will forward the message.
