From the article it seems it wasn't on purpose:
>An unnamed businessman forgot the canvas—an untitled and undated work by French painter Yves Tanguy—at a check-in counter when boarding a flight [...] He soon realized that the 16- by 24-inch painting, which he’d stored in a flat cardboard box, had gone missing, and upon arriving in Israel, immediately contacted German authorities.

- Kliment 6y agoI've travelled with valuable (to me, not in commercial terms) art in inconvenient packaging and nearly forgotten it on the baggage scanner. Airport stress is real and Düsseldorf is particularly bad (permanently understaffed for its volume, leading to long delays at checkin and insecurity control if anyone calls in sick).
