František Drtikol's "The Wave" was stolen from the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague just over a month ago, but was recovered soon after thanks to the Art Loss Register.
The 1925 photo was by Czech photographer František Drtikol, best known for his avant-garde work juxtaposing nudes against large geometric shapes. The Wave is one of his more recognized works, and the museum owns a series of 10 prints of the piece, one of which is marked "the final" and kept in lockup. The stolen piece was valued at upwards of a quarter million dollars.
