Criminals have taken 10-тонные sculptures and several tons of marble. The damage alleged exceeds 2 000 000 Euro

Heavy sculptures periodically steal — for the metal or for the love of art. In Israel, as-то stole the sculpture of Rodin (author of the famous "Thinker"), there were other high-profile cases. But this does not remember. To 10-тонные work, but not metal, and marble... But there's always a first time. Harper's BAZAAR with reference to the French Le Parisien reported that on Sunday, the thieves disabled the alarm and stole from the big production areas of the German sculptor of several tens of tons of sculptures and marble.

Why steal — question. But hardly for resale sculptures as art objects. Buyers for stolen could not be found. All the more strange that the marble from Kiefer steal not for the first time. Kidnapped a few years ago, the marble, however, found, but not suitable for production condition. Wonders what-то.

The highest auction result at Kiefer — $3 560 580 for almost three-meter picture. Had about 20 sales of more than $1 000 000. Usually the most expensive collectors pay for his paintings. But the sculptures Kiefer periodically submits millionth strap.

slabs of Marble used in the sculptures Kiefer, symbolizing the gigantic stack of books. The following year the exhibition of the master plan in the St. Petersburg Hermitage. I hope that among those kidnapped were not sculptures intended for display in Russia.
