Henry Hill original 11 x 15 painting of cardboard signed Henrt Hill with COA

He has passed away since in 2012.

Very cool piece obtained from his family and will be sent unframed.

Henry Hill, Jr. (June 11, 1943 – June 12, 2012) was a New York City mobster. Between 1955 and 1980, Hill was associated with the Lucchese crime family. In 1980, Hill became an FBI informant, and his testimony helped secure 50 convictions, including those of mob capo (captain) Paul Varioand James Burke on multiple charges.

The Lufthansa heist was a robbery at John F. Kennedy International Airport on December 11, 1978. An estimated $5.875 million ($21.6 million today) was stolen, with $5 million in cash and $875,000 in jewelry, making it the largest cash robbery committed on American soil at the time. In popular culture, it is the main subject of the two well-known television films&mdashThe 10 Million Dollar Getaway (1991) and The Big Heist (2001), and is a key plot element in the film Goodfellas (1990). The heist's magnitude made it one of the longest-investigated crimes in the United States: for over 35 years after it happened, the latest arrest associated with it was made in 2014. Jimmy Burke was the mastermind of the heist but was never officially charged with the crime or related crimes.
