Arrr, matey! A mishap o' grand proportions in the land o' windmills saw two prized Warhol portraits swiped and two more left as scallywags, all from the jolly 1985 “Reigning Queens”! A right pickle, I tell ye! Next time, keep yer eyes on the booty, ye daft rogues!
Ahoy, mateys! Gather ye round as I spin ye a tale from the land of windmills and tulips, where scallywags thought they could pull off a grand heist! On a fateful Friday, a band of ruffians took to the skies, bangin' and boommin' with explosives to bust down the doors of an art gallery, makin' off with two prized screen prints by the legendary Andy Warhol, a true master of pop artistry!Mark Peet Visser, the gallery’s captain, be sayin' these landlubbers tried to snatch four of Warhol’s treasures from his "Reigning Queens" series, includin' portraits of queens from lands far and wide. But lo and behold! In their haste, they left behind two damaged pieces, like forgotten booty in the streets!
Visser called the whole escapade “amateurish,” as if they were fresh out o’ pirate school! The security cameras caught every blunder, and the poor sods couldn’t even fit their stolen fortune into their getaway vessel. Instead, they mangled the art beyond recognition as they tore it from its frames!
Now, the authorities be on the hunt, seekin' witnesses to this comical disaster, while Visser laments the loss of his loot, which was set to dazzle at an upcoming art fair. So keep yer eyes peeled, mateys, for these bumbling bandits be a sight to behold!
