Stolen Art Piece Makes its Way to Starbucks

slide6Donovan Agasi, a Mokelumne Hill artist, had two of his pieces of art on display at Starbucks in Angels Camp. According to the Calaveras Enterprise, Agasi found out last week that one of his pieces had been stolen; he has yet to recover it and no information has come in as to its whereabouts. Agasi, who said he places no blame on Starbucks or its management for the theft, has had pieces on display on the walls at the coffee shop for nearly two years. Due to relocating and being without a telephone for some time, Agasi did not find out that his creation, “Still Form in Patience,” had been stolen until nearly two months after it was taken. The piece measures 14 by 17 inches and is framed. It is done in chalk pastels and depicts a chess piece, a boxing puppet and a pair of bolt cutters with a multicolored background. Agasi said that if anybody has any information about the painting they should call the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Department at 754-6500.  A Calaveras Enterprise Story
