Dali painting snatched off wall at E. Side gallery

A slick art thief snatched a Salvador Dali painting right off the wall of an Upper East Side gallery, dropped it in a shopping bag and calmly strolled unnoticed out the front door, law-enforcement sources said.

Famed art dealer and radio baron Adam Lindemann told cops the crook snatched “Cartel de Don Juan Tenorio” from his new Venus Over Manhattan gallery on Madison Avenue at around 4 p.m. Wednesday, the sources said.


“During regular business hours, with a security guard,” Lindemann told The Post today.
The small watercolor-and-ink painting — a Dali original completed in 1949 — is worth $150,000, insurance adjusters told cops.

“We’re cooperating fully with the police and have no further comment,” added Lindemann, a polo-playing socialite who founded a chain of 20 Spanish-language radio stations.  More
