Andy Warhol prints stolen and damaged in Dutch gallery heist
ai generated text
Thieves have targeted an art gallery in the southern Netherlands, attempting to steal four Andy Warhol screen prints. The heist was partially captured on security cameras, with the thieves attempting to break into the gallery and steal the artworks. The thieves managed to steal two of the prints, while two others were badly damaged in the process as they fled the scene. The stolen prints were part of a famous 1985 series by Andy Warhol, a renowned American pop artist.
So they did that part of it well, too well actually. And then they ran to the car with the artworks and it turns out that they won't fit in the car. ... At that moment the works are ripped out of the frames and you also know that they are damaged beyond repair, because it is impossible to get them out undamaged.
This makes it easier to sell than unique works, but not that much easier.
