Flemish Government Seeking 2,313 Missing Works of Art

The Flemish Audit Office provided an expose in the Flemish Parliament today regarding 2,313 works of art that are currently unaccounted for.

The Flemish Audit Office provided an expose in the Flemish Parliament today regarding 2,313 works of art that are currently unaccounted for.  This does not mean that the works have disappeared or were stolen; it is simply impossible to know the precise whereabouts of the art pieces  at the present time.  Belgium has had several reforms of the state in the past decades, therefore it is not known in which offices the works are immediately located, according to Sven Gatz, the Flemish Minister of Culture. Cabinet of Sven Gatz also shared with ArtDependence that it may take years before all the artworks will be located.
