The missing art is a 48×36.5-inch image, “yellow and blue in color,” titled “Particle Tracks,” according to Cornell. The artwork is valued at $550.55 and the photo was taken by Patrice Loiez at CERN of the tracks left by subatomic particles from a particle accelerator.

Hans Bethe House is one of five upperclass dorms on Cornell’s west campus built last decade as part of the West Campus House System, all named for faculty from Cornell’s history.

Anyone with information about the theft or the current location of the stolen artwork is asked to call the Cornell University Police Department at 607-255-1111.
