Bronze sculptures and etchings by Spanish surrealists stolen from Stockholm’s Couleur gallery.

Axar.az reports citing the Guardian that thieves have stolen bronze sculptures and etchings by the surrealist artist Salvador Dalí from a gallery in Stockholm in a smash and grab raid.

The Couleur gallery, in the Swedish capital’s upmarket Östermalm district, was holding an exhibition of work by Dalí containing about 10 pieces by the Spanish artist.

“They were worth 200,000 to 500,000 crowns (£16,000 to £40,000) each. So it’s quite a lot of money. It’s terrible,” the gallery owner, Peder Enstrom.

The works by Dalí were on loan from Switzerland, he said.
