Dutch police have arrested a 23-year-old who is suspected of being involved in the theft of two works by Andy Warhol from an art gallery in Oisterwijk in southern Netherlands. The police do not reveal whether the two stolen works depicting Danish Queen Margrethe and British Queen Elizabeth have been found or not.
The thieves broke into the gallery. According to gallery owner Mark Peet Visser, they were after stealing all four motifs that are part of Warhol's series "Reigning Queens" from 1985, but two of the works were damaged. Mark Peet Visser describes the coup as "amateurish".
The bomb attack was so powerful that my entire building was destroyed and the businesses located next to it were also damaged. So that part of it they did well, too well, actually, he said on Friday.
