29 Pieces Of Art Stolen From Brooklyn Gallery And Store

BROOKLYN, NY — The founder of a Brooklyn luxury fine art and fashion gallery and store is "devastated" after 29 items worth a total of more than $4,700 were stolen last month, the store said in an Instagram post.

Among the luxury items shoplifted on Feb. 24 from the Tigerbob store — the brand's flagship location at 51 35th Street — are hoodies, hats, and socks, founder Gossamer Rozen said on X, formerly known as Twitter.

In a blog post on March 6, Rozen added that the stolen items were mostly cashmere artist editions and a few one-of-a-kind pieces.

"I'm doing my best to move forward," Rozen, a nonbinary, femme, transgender, Filipino, and African-American fine artist and tattooer, wrote on Feb. 27.

In the blog post, Rozen added that while the theft is "heartbreaking," they will "not place focus on it" and have already been given good reason to look forward to the future.

Shortly after the theft, the Tigerbob store, which also doubles as a tattoo shop, found a new and larger space to house its wares. It's right next to the old location: still upstairs at building 5 of Industry City and across from Tadaima Café.

"So excited to begin this new chapter," Rozen wrote. "I have plenty of space for tattoos and that will begin end of March."

The store is open Thursday through Sunday from 11:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.

Those looking to support Tigerbob following the theft can purchase all prints and books for 50 percent off in-store and online through the end of March with coupon code "RECOVERY."

"I hope you can snag a few gifts for yourself and friends, and help support during this time," Rozen wrote. "It means a lot."
