A North Carolina museum that wishes to remain anonymous (please note

has recently discovered that two pieces of art are missing from its
display area. 
  
Please be aware that these items could appear on the market. The museum
would greatly appreciate passing along the word to colleagues,
collectors, dealers or anyone else. 
  
Specifically, the missing objects are: 
  
1). a Joan Miro black & white lithograph, titled, El Saltador (The
Jumper), 1948, which was framed in a 1-inch round profile shiny gold
frame measuring 16 x 20 inches. The abstract image depicts organic black
shapes on a white background. The image area is 9 x 12.5 inches and the
sheet size is 14 x 18". The print is glued or mounted to cardboard. It
