and my 38-ton Richard Serra sculpture?
BBC reports: A leading Spanish museum has admitted it has lost a massive steel sculpture which weighs 38 tonnes.
Madrid's Reina Sofia Museum bought the Richard Serra sculpture in the 1980s for more than $200,000 (£114,000). The museum says that in 1990 it put the sculpture in a warehouse belonging to a company that specialises in storing large-scale artwork. The piece's disappearance only came to light when the museum's director Ana Martinez de Aguilar decided to put it on display again.
