centimeters by 9.8 centimeters (5 inches x 3.9 inches), was supposed go on display from October 9, as part of a temporary exhibition at CajaGranada Cultural Center in the southern Spanish city of Granada.

 The work is owned by a private collector and was insured for an estimated 600,000 euros (USD 700,000), the CajaGranada Foundation, which owns the cultural center, confirmed to Reuters Friday. The Friday before the exhibition was due to open, a van belonging to a transportation company arrived at the cultural center as scheduled to deliver works from Madrid, CajaGranada Foundation said in a press statement.

All the works were moved in a single, continuous movement from the van to a freight elevator that took all the transportation company employees at once from floor -1 to floor 1, the center said. The items were then transferred from the elevator to the exhibition hall under video surveillance, according to the statement. After verifying the origins of the different packages, the exhibition manager agreed with the transportation company that the delivery would be signed for, ahead of the unpackaging of the pieces the following Monday. The packages remained under video surveillance at all times over the weekend, and the unpacking began at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, according to the center. (CNN)
