Sculpture worth £60,000 stolen from artist's home A bronze sculpture worth £60,000 has been stolen from the garden of a world-renowned artist.
Essex Police has urged anyone who may have information about any suspicious vehicles or suspicious behaviour in the Arkesden area on the evening of December 5 and the early hours of December 6 to get in touch.
Curry, who is famous for her garden sculptures and portraits, including a bronze bust of Sir John Major that she made for the House of Commons, said the theft was "unbelievable".
The artwork, known as La Promesse, was taken from Anne Curry's home in Saffron Walden, Essex, between 5 and 6 December while she was at a funeral.
"The person who stole that one had been in the garden and systematically knocked on the sculptures to see which one was in bronze.
