荷兰一个小城日前承认，由于在办公楼装修过程中管理疏忽，数十幅画作被“当垃圾扔了”，其中包括美国波普艺术家安迪·沃霍尔（Andy Warhol）的一幅画。
Though Andy Warhol famously created art from garbage cans, he may not have expected his works to end up in the trash. But that is exactly where officials at a Dutch town hall think one of his silkscreen prints may have landed, after it was accidentally disposed of with "bulky waste."
英国天空新闻频道、英国广播公司等媒体25日报道，荷兰马斯霍斯特政府24日发表声明说，这批画被误当作垃圾扔了，“预计找不回来了”，政府“深感遗憾”。
据荷兰媒体报道，马斯霍斯特政府办公楼此前进行装修时，共有46幅画被扔掉，其中有一幅沃霍尔为荷兰前女王贝娅特丽克丝创作的丝网版画。这批画中有一些长期存放在办公楼地下室。
The 1980s print depicting the Netherlands' then-Queen Beatrix in Warhol's famous pop art style disappeared when the art collection was being reorganized, according to a statement issued by Maashorst municipality on Thursday. The local authority said it doesn't expect to find the artworks. Besides the Warhol print, 45 other works were also lost in the same way.

沃霍尔这幅画最后一次被人看到是在2023年9月，一个月后不知所踪。马斯霍斯特政府在声明中承认，办公楼装修过程中未指定专人看管名画。
It is unclear precisely how the lapse happened and which officials are responsible for throwing out the works.
安迪·沃霍尔（1928～1987）是美国著名的波普艺术家。波普艺术（Pop art）是一种将电影明星、电视画面、漫画、杂志和广告等流行文化元素融入美术创作之中的艺术流派。
沃霍尔的作品紧扣美国社会的消费文化与名人崇拜。他擅长从大众传媒中提取图像，如可口可乐瓶子、美元钞票、蒙娜丽莎和玛丽莲·梦露的头像，并将这些元素反复排列在画布上，旨在展现出现代商业社会中人们无可奈何的空虚与迷惘。
Andy Warhol (1928–1987) was a renowned American pop artist. Warhol's works closely reflected American society's consumer culture and obsession with celebrities. His art captured the helpless sense of emptiness and confusion experienced by people in a highly commercialized modern society.

沃霍尔的作品、丝网印刷肖像画《玛丽莲·梦露》曾在2022年5月于纽约佳士得以1.95亿美元天价拍出，折合人民币约13.1亿元，刷新了20世纪艺术作品的拍卖纪录。
