Elevn paintings were stolen in 2006 from the home in the hamlet of Quiogue on eastern Long Island. The Pricest was a piece by French cubist Jean Metzinger entitled: "Femme en Premier Plan Avec Corbeille Fleurs et Fond Denature Morte" and valued at $420,000, as shown in this photo. An additional $1 million in artwork was destroyed when the home was set afire in February 2006. The home was owned by Jerry Levin, former CEO of the Coleman Company Inc., the camping goods maker.

2006年，長島東岸奎歐格小鎮一幢豪宅有11幅畫失竊，其中最名貴的一幅就是照片上這幅法國立體派畫家梅金傑的代表作之一「拿著一盆花的女人」，要價42萬美元（約台幣1373萬），另外有100萬美元藝術品在2006年豪宅被人縱火時焚毀。豪宅主人是戶外用品製造商柯曼公司前執行長勒文。 According to authorities, five men have been arrested in connection with the theft of the paintings. Three men pleaded not guilty to stealing paintings worth $500,000 from the Hamptons estate and burning down the mansion to cover up the crime.

據有關當局指出，五名和竊取這批畫有關的嫌疑人被捕。但其中三人辯稱無罪，他們聲稱並未從漢普頓地產偷取總價50萬美元（約1640萬台幣）的畫，也未為了掩飾罪行而將豪宅燒毀。
