In the Netherlands, thieves bombed a gallery to steal Andy Warhol's works.


In the Netherlands, burglars bombed the entrance to a gallery and attempted to steal four works from Andy Warhol's series of stencil prints. It is known that the prints depicted portraits of the kings of Great Britain, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Swaziland.
The crime was recorded by surveillance cameras, but the gallery owner called the actions of the perpetrators 'amateurish'. The thieves bombed the entrance to the gallery but could not take the works as they were unable to fit them in the car. They tore two prints from their frames and left the other works on the street.
The value of the stolen works is significant, but they were insured. Moreover, an art expert emphasizes that these works are not unique, as several copies of each print were created. The police are investigating this case.
