Thieves steal two works after ripping them from their frames as they were too big for their car
Thieves have blown open the door of an art gallery in the southern Netherlands and stolen two works from a famous series of screen prints by Andy Warhol, leaving two others badly damaged in the street as they fled the scene of the botched heist.
The gallery’s owner, Mark Peet Visser, said the thieves had tried to steal all four works from a 1985 series by the US pop artist called Reigning Queens, which features portraits of the then-queens of the UK, the Netherlands, Denmark and Swaziland, which is now called Eswatini.
