Munch Art Recovered

Three works of art by Norwegian master Edvard Munch have been recovered, less than 24 hours after being snatched from a restaurant, say police. The thieves used crowbars to pry the artwork off the walls of the restaurant just after it had closed for the night. Several people - including known criminals - were arrested in Oslo. Munch's tortured tableaus have proven to be quite a draw for Norway's art thieves. In August, priceless Munch masterpieces 'The Scream' and 'Madonna' were stolen and have yet to be recovered. Munch died in 1944 at the age of 80, having produced some 1,700 paintings. For the full story - click the title Irish Art
