:Four works of art were recently reported missing from the wall at
the back of the stage of the Pierre Monteux School for Conductors
and Orchestra Musicians.
The four bordered plaster of Paris cast bas reliefs depict
musical motifs with nude figures. Each is approximately 16 by 24
inches and approximately 21/2 inches thick.
Although school officials are uncertain of their provenance, it
has long been assumed that they were brought back from a European
concert tour by the school's namesake, the French-American
conductor Pierre Monteux, some time between 1945 and 1964.
Maine State Police are currently investigating the disappearance
of these items. Anyone with any information pertaining to them is
asked to contact the Maine State Police at 207-624-7200.
