The stolen pieces include one by Jackson Pollock, three by G.H. Rothe, one by Matisse, four by Miro, two by Rembrandt, a Renoir and a van Gogh.
While it’s unclear exactly how much the art pieces are worth, Marohn said, the Pollock’s estimated value ranges from $20 million to $60 million. The other art pieces are collectively estimated at $7 million.
