Suburban Art Crime

Typically it is the urban metropolitan museums that suffer art theft.

 

However, the Art Loss Register has issued a theft alert: two 15 x 10 x 15 inch Louhan sculptures were stolen from an "undisclosed location" within the affluent suburb of Westport, CT.  The estimated value of each of the works is $800,000.  

 

For more information about the theft read this article.  Note that the sculptures were apparently taken from a "private collection."
