CLEVELAND, Ohio — It’s been a long and mysterious journey for the 17-inch tall bronze bust of Nikola Tesla. In 2014, the statue created by Matthew Louis Rebrovic was stolen from its base at the Serbian Cultural Garden in Cleveland.
The bronze bust was listed on the website LiveAuctioneers by an auction house located in Geauga County. The auction house collects a commission on items it lists and sells online. Mathews explained he often doesn’t know an item’s history when it comes into his possession. He unlisted the statue shortly before it was set for auction. It was the second time the bust could have been lost again. It was nearly sold and shipped to an out-of-state buyer months earlier.
