They were stored under improper conditions in the basement of the town hall as renovations were going on. Later, they had damage from water, were covered with mold and dust and subsequently were thrown away. In total, they supposedly had a value of about 22000 €, so nothing spectacular.

Ah, yeah that's a real loss. And nuts that happened. One picture I can see, but 46?

The Guardian only talks about Warhol, but there was a total of 46 art works lost. They weren't all made by him.

And nothing of value was lost. He'd probably be excited about it to be honest, if he was still around.

>"The 46 missing artworks were definitely never in my house, and were definitely never sold on privately by me. They probably got thrown away and you won't find them" said the leader of Maashorst Council, sat in his recently bought mansion.
