Two characteristic pieces of art have been stolen from the Trapholt museum at Kolding in southern Jutland.
On December 10th, several individuals broke into the museum, carrying away a 30-kilogram model of a monkey Kay Bojesen, a Danish designer of the early 20th century known for creating wooden animals.
A second break-in, just after midnight on New Year’s Day, resulted in the loss of ‘Rolexgate’, a piece by Denmark-based Chilean artist Marco Evaristti. Two people are thought to have been involved in the second break-in.
The Rolexgate piece depicts the entrance to the Second World War concentration camp Auschwitz. It is made partly from gold and diamonds and has a Rolex watch at its head.
