Bronze sculpture worth £60,000 stolen from renowned artist's garden

Hindustan Times  

A “very valuable” bronze sculpture worth £60,000 has been stolen from the garden of a world-renowned artist who said she was “upset” at the lack of progress in the investigation. Anne Curry told the PA news agency she returned home from a funeral service on the evening of December 6 2024 to find that one of her artworks called La Promesse – an imposing bronze sculpture of an iris flower weighing about 350kg – had vanished from her garden in Arkesden, Saffron Walden, Essex. Sculptor Anne Curry said she was ‘upset’ that no arrests had been made in connection with the theft of artwork La Promesse, a bronze worth £60,000. “The person who stole that one had been in the garden and systematically knocked on the sculptures to see which one was in bronze.” Ms Curry, who was formerly married to ex-Conservative MP David Curry, said no officer from Essex Police visited her home until three weeks after the crime had taken place, accusing the force of “extraordinary inefficiency”.
