A bronze sculpture by Hans (Jean) Arp, valued at about €145,000 (around $160,000), is reported stolen from Galerie Ludorff’s booth at Art Cologne on November 8, the last day of the fair’s run. The gallery says it has filed a criminal report with police and is seeking public help to locate the artwork.
Hyperallergic identifies the piece as “S’élevant (Rising)” (1962), describing it as taken from the Gallery Ludorff booth during the fair. Artforum likewise reports the theft at Art Cologne and provides the sculpture’s author and reported value, with both outlets aligning on the location, date, and gallery involved, while differing mainly in the amount of detail and naming of the specific work.
