Thieves Blew The Door Off Gallery to Steal Two of Four Rare Warhol Prints from Dutch Gallery
Thieves with a taste for Pop Art literally blew the doors off of MPV Gallery in Oisterwijk, Netherlands Friday before stealing two screen prints from Andy Warhol’s “Reigning Queens” series, one of the UK’s Queen Elizabeth and the other depicting Queen Margrethe II of Denmark.
According to the German art publication Monopol, the two screenprints were broken out of their frames and may have been “severely damaged” during the heist. The gallery told Monopol that the group of pictures was rare “because they all had the same numbering” and that it’s a “terrible shame” that the series has been separated.

Three in five small UK museums and galleries fear closure amid declining revenue, new research suggests
Three in five small museums and galleries in the UK fear closure amid declining revenue and footfall, research published this week suggests. The survey of 40 small, independent attractions—those with fewer than 100,000 annual visitors—also found that four in five (78%) reported the current period as the most challenging the sector has faced, while over half (58%) said overall income has not returned to its pre-Covid levels.
The research, conducted by the cloud platform GoDaddy in partnership with the charity Kids in Museums, surveyed small museums as well as galleries, historic buildings and heritage sites. Alison Bowyers, the executive director of Kids in Museums, tells The Art Newspaper that UK museums are suffering more than their counterparts in mainland Europe.
