The man had already arrived in Tel Aviv when he noticed that at the German airport he had forgotten the painting by the French surrealist painter Yves Tanguy (1900-1955) wrapped in 40-centimeter-60-inch cardboard.

The businessman asked Israel for help in an email to find the abandoned artwork, but the airport police no longer found the flat cardboard box that he had left behind on the counter.

The passenger’s nephew, who lives in Belgium, personally traveled to Düsseldorf and helped the police with more information. Thus, following the path of the collected paper waste, an experienced detective found the paint, valued at HUF 100 million, at the bottom of the airport cleaning service’s separate paper collection container, preventing it from being ground.
