Two Warhols and three Lichtensteins were stolen from the Abergs Museum. Carina Aberg, an official at the Abergs Museum, stated to ArtDaily, “Early this morning, the 18th of July, burglars broke up a door in Abergs Museum, rushed in and quickly grabbed exactly what they wanted and what they must have known where there, a couple of Warhol-pictures and three Lichtensteins. We send along pictures of the stolen artwork. They also stole an old film-poster which were located next to a Warhol, also with the title The New Spirit. We think they made a mistake in the rush. Police have no trace of the burglars and the artwork could have already left the country. We are of course very sorry about this mess.”
