It was quite a shock waking to find a Henry Moore sculpture had been stolen. Particularly so because it looked so similar to the reclining lady that sits outside our college! The second shock was seeing the market value of one of Moores sculptures - upwards of £3m! It does beg the interesting question of where on earth RIT managed to get its hands on a very rare and very sought after piece of metal (for scrap metal alone it seems - see story). Perhaps I'll do some digging and find out. It could be that our own piece of art is worth more then the building it stands proudly outside of. news link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/beds/bucks/herts/4537670.stm update: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/beds/bucks/herts/4539916.stm update: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4538506.stm art on campus link: http://artoncampus.rit.edu/art/18/
