Giant Sculptures Vanish! Priceless Works Melted!



Okay, GIANT sculptures are turning up missing all over Europe. Sounds like the premise of an alien thriller, nope. In fact, the loss count is at 20 so far. A 38 ton(!!) Richard Serra piece is missing from the holdings of the Reina Sofia Museum of Madrid. But by and large, the pieces are missing from various London locations and have disappeared within the last six to twelve months. "The method appears almost laughably simple: the thieves arrive with a van or a truck in the middle of the night, heave the works into the back and drive off, never to be heard from again (at least not so far)". check out The New York Times article Via Edward Winkleman
