According to the report, forty-nine pieces of art worth 1.2 million euros (over USD 1.3 million) were stolen from the exhibition called “Like a warm, flowing gold,” opened at the end of December and scheduled to close on Friday.

One of the pieces, named “Uomo/Donna” (Man/Woman), was later found inside the exhibition complex’s grounds, but the other 48 pieces remain missing, the estate spokesperson told CNN.
