Dalí cover missing in French museums
French police have uncovered the theft of a bronze cover considered a unique artwork from a contemporary art center in Eissouar. The piece was designed by Spanish artist Salvador Dalí and decorated with gold, gemstones, and shells. The cover weighs over 150 kilograms and is part of an art volume created between 1958 and 1961, consisting of 150 large pages adorned with gold and featuring 550 characters. The theft took place overnight between October 4th and 5th, during which the thieves disabled the cameras and alarm systems, adding mystery to how the enormous piece was removed from the location. The piece is an extraordinary work of art, and its disappearance raises questions about how it was transported, especially considering the destruction of security systems. It is known to be one of the most valuable books in the world, having been exhibited in more than 150 international exhibitions. It is now missing amid a series of cultural thefts in France.
