From the AP: Cezanne, Degas, van Gogh and Monet stolen by three gunmen at the E.G. Buehrle Collection in Zurich.
Is one of the many, many downsides of an overheated art market and the over-valuation of works by dead art masters that you’ve got to up your museum security and defenses to deal with armed gunmen? The article notes this isn’t the first time this has happened in Zurich, either.
Note: While the AP values the theft at $163 million, CNN has it at $91 million.
