Show Notes
An original drawing by famed artist Salvador Dalí is donated to the Rikers Island jail inmates in the 1960s. It survives years bouncing around the prison—displayed in a mess hall, shunted into deep storage, and finally locked behind glass near a lobby soda machine—until 2003, when it suddenly goes missing. Strap in for a heist and an ongoing mystery that’s almost as surreal as the artist himself.
