Maybe just as simple as warehouse workers with easy access to the site and equipment to move large stuff around the site and know how to scrap metal but not how to fence stolen art and jewelry?
With titles like “Icarus Within” and “Quantum Mechanics: Homme” the biggest problem was not the mass, weight and size of the artwork.
The biggest problem would be finding a way to avoid being sucked into the black hole of pretentiousness inherent in the artists choice of titles.
But seriously the artist might possibly and allegedly have engineered a hoax to draw attention to both himself and the art. Art without publicity attached to it is worthless.
Art collecting dust in a museum warehouse is even worse. The artist might possibly and allegedly have been seething to find out the museum curators were not that interested in the difficulty of bringing the artworks out of storage and installing them in a sculpture garden or inside the museum. Nothing motivates artists quite like the fragility of their egos and the desire to see their stuff on display in a prominent place.

hmm on one hand this is probably true but on the other hand my way allowed me to pretend there is a lady out there named Crystal Tumbler
"I would pay money just to see a forklift get melted, actually."
Can't help you there, but there is a famous scene in Goldfinger of a car being crushed...
They tried to steal me with a forklift, OLE!
