WORKS BY VAN GOGH, GAUGUIN, PICASSO STOLEN

Three watercolors, by van Gogh, Gauguin, and Picasso, respectively, were stolen on Sunday from the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester, England, Rachel Campbell-Johnson reports in the London Times. Though their combined value is somewhere around 1 million pounds (1.6 million dollars), their loss will be far more than financial; it will leave a serious gap in the museum’s Post-Impressionist collection.
