Pop art most likely trashed art after Dutch town hall move

A southern Dutch made art news headlines in saying that it “most likely” accidentally dumped 46 precious artworks including one by Pop Art master Andy Warhol during a town hall renovation last year.

The Maashorst municipality said the works, including a rare 1980s Warhol silkscreen print of the country’s former monarch Princess Beatrix, disappeared during work on the town hall in Uden, when that borough was incorporated into a new local administration.

“It’s most likely that the artworks were accidentally taken away with the trash,” the Maashorst municipality said in a statement.
