  1. LONDON, ENGLAND - JANUARY 08: Osborne Samuel Gallery owner Gordon Samuel, (rear) and Cheif Exectutive of the Ben Uri London Jewish Museum of Art, David Glasser, (front) stand beside a previously unseen painting by Jewish painter Marc Chagall at the Osborne Samuel gallery on January 8, 2010 in London, England. Mr Glasser identified the piece as Apocalypse in Lilac, Capriccio, by Chagall, but kept the importance of the painting to himself, eventually securing it at an auction in Paris for the bargain price of £26,000 last year. It is in fact the missing work from Chagall's wartime imagery and is worth over ten times the amount that the Jewish Museum paid at its auction.
