(Reuters) The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Monday offered up to $25,000 as a reward for information on seven Andy Warhol paintings stolen from a Missouri art museum last week.
The Campbell Soup paintings, part of a set of 10 worth $500,000, were taken from the Springfield Art Museum, in Springfield, after a break-in during the early hours of April 7, the FBI said.

"It look like SOUP can!"
I’m sure they will connect the dots...
I hope they stole the last remaining copy of Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein.
Oh my god, they stole a wormhole. The Black Lives Matter folks can gate in now, at any time! I am concerned, to say the least.
I can have duplicates ready by tomorrow at noon.
No big deal. Go rip some labels off some soup cans and paste them onto a piece of poster board. Good as new.
It was a crime of opartunity.
Hey are any of the other 25 people that saw MIB 3 on FR? Do recall the parody they did of Warhol and his fans? I thought it was spot on.
Weird thing I saw Warhol paintings in books or wherever and they don’t really look impressive.
I saw one at a museum.
Totally different. It actually was impressive.
Too easy.
Nah! Cleaning people probably thought they were drop cloths left behind by workmen.
Very interesting observation.

Nice one -—opartunity-—shoulda been popartunity

Having seen them in person and in books, I remain unimpressed. Only because he was in the “in” group, was this stuff even marketable. Had he been a heterosexual from a Kansas instead of a whatever from the Coasts, no one would have ever looked at this stuff, much less gone ga-ga over it.
Of course, that is just my opinion. (But in art, I guess that is really what is important, anyway, as is yours.)
from the Warhol School of Business?
LOL
Udo Kier ping.
Dalila Di Lazzaro (drool) re-ping.
