Burglars broke into a home and stole three "high-value" pieces of art, including a painting by Richard Hamilton.
The thieves broke into the property off Long Lane in Chorleywood between 8pm on Tuesday, May 26 and 4pm on Wednesday, May 27.
They entered an outbuilding and stole a sculpture of a gold dress, a framed print of the gold dress and a Richard Hamilton painting of a nude woman.
Officers investigating the burglary have released images of the stolen art and are asking people to get in touch if they have seen them recently.
PC Claire Milne-Smith, who is investigating, said: “These are high-value pieces and are very recognisable in their appearance, so we are asking the public to please come forward if they have any information in relation to the whereabouts of these items.
