"It's most likely that the artworks were accidentally taken away with the trash," they said.

A report by investigators found that some of the artworks were stored in wheelie bins in the basement and were "not handled with care", according to local newspaper Algemeen Dagblad.
 
From the article:
An investigation said the artworks were stored in a basement during renovations and a lack of guidelines for storing the artworks could have been among the reasons why they ended up being thrown away.

It's most likely that the works were ruined when stored in a basement. Mold damage?
