Dutch town "most likely" trashed 46 artworks by mistake, including Warhol silkscreen print of Princess Beatrix
CBSN
A southern Dutch municipality said Thursday 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.
