Markus L\u00fcpertz’s “Athena”<\/p><\/div>\n

“I was shocked.\u201d That\u2019s what the foundry owner said when he learned that a 7 \u00bd foot tall sculpture went missing from his shop.\u00a0 The work, Athena<\/em>, by German Neo-Expressionist artist Markus L\u00fcpertz, is a brightly painted bronze weighing over 500 pounds.\u00a0 Once the foundry realized the sculpture was missing, they contacted the authorities.\u00a0 Unfortunately, it is unknown whether the work was stolen for its scrap value (just a few thousand euros) or for the work itself, estimated at a few hundred thousand euros.<\/p>\n

This is the second time L\u00fcpertz is the victim of theft.\u00a0 In 2015, 30 works of art, which included drawings, watercolors, graphics and sculptures, were stolen from his studio in Teltow, outside of Berlin.\u00a0 All but one of those have been recovered.<\/p>\n
