Museum Loses 38 Ton Art

Spanish museum officials have "misplaced" a 38-ton steel statue by a U.S. artist valued at $220,000, ABC newspaper reported Wednesday. The work by Richard Serra was commissioned in 1986 then displayed a year later. It remained a fixture at the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid until 1990, when it was put into storage. However the company holding the massive artwork went under in 1998. The Reina Sofia decided a few months ago that they wanted to display the work again. However, the statue is nowhere to be found. Museum officials have yet to comment on the work's disappearance. Irish Art
