He didn’t even see them until the day they were installed, though he came up with the ideas, negotiated with subcontractors and signed off on every stage of the work.

$25,000 reward for stolen Warhol prints
Sometime between the evening of April 6 and the morning of April 7, thieves broke in to the Springfield Art Museum and stole seven screen prints by pop artist Andy Warhol, and as of today, April 22, they are still missing. The prints were part of a series of ten prints depicting Campbell’s Soup cans and were some of Warhol’s most famous and recognizable work.Read the whole story here, and then read here why these prints can only be sold on the black market and whoever buys them has to know that they're stolen.
