7) The Lost Paintings of Norman Rockwell

Over the course of 6 years, the Coca-Cola Company contracted Norma Rockwell to create 6 paintings for their ad campaigns. These finished works were sent off to the printers to be reproduced, but only one painting was returned to the company at the time.

Since the paintings were first discovered to be missing Coca Cola has recovered two more paintings, but that means that somewhere out there are three more lost works of Normal Rockwell! They were made famous by their reproduction in countless magazines, but today are unsolved mysteries.
