Someone stole this photo...I guess someone liked it.
The manager insisted I hang the pictures starting at the bottom tier of windows this year. Why, I'm not sure. I was afraid that they would be bumped against when people sat down. They were taped up securely with packing tape and whoever peeled it off must have had some very sharp nails. At the opening someone also stole my umbrella.

I'm also displaying prints of Tobago and Trinidad
at the Commerce Bank at 666 Broadway.

The fourth annual Noho NY ArtWalk in the celebrated
Noho community features a retrospective of established and
emerging artists' work uniquely showcased in
stores, restaurants and banks in the area.

On one hand, it may be thought of as a compliment that someone liked your work so much they had to have it. On the other hand, it shows such disrespect, and even perhaps jealousy, that they did not give you, the artist, respect by valuing your work enough to pay you for it rather than stealing it.
But you have the talent to create. A thief has no other talent but to steal.
Copyright protect all this series with the Library of Congress as soon as possible so that if the thief wants to publish the photo as their work, you can sue them for really big bucks.
I am so sorry you had this experience, but I hope something positive and good will come out of it. Do not let it bring your spirit down.
