Seven iconic Andy Warhol prints have been stolen from a Missouri museum, and the FBI has offered a $25,000 reward for their return.
Ten of the Campbell's Soup can prints were on permanent display at the Springfield Art Museum when the thief broke in early on April 7, the FBI said.
The collection of prints is worth an estimated $500,000, and has been owned by the museum since 1975. It is set number 31 in Warhol's Campbell Soup I collection.
The missing prints were made by Warhol in 1968, and depict soups including beef, tomato, vegetable, onion, green pea, chicken noodle and black bean.
Warhol was a leading figure in the pop art movement, and his works often explored the celebrity culture and advertisements of the 1960s.
He died in New York in 1968, and is well known for the soup prints, Marilyn Monroe pop art, and other artworks featuring icons such as Elvis Presley and Coca -Cola.
The FBI has issued an appeal for anyone with information about the stolen artwork to come forward.
