If they were not reported as stolen until today, that seems a little fishy.

Picasso was a nut. He gave his stuff away all of the time. I tend to believe him. If he was a thief, wouldn’t he have sold this stuff piecemeal over the years?

Apparently, Picasso didn't like any of his relatives enough to give them the works, so I don't believe this guy stole them.

I'm REALLY angry that they have been confiscated.

I seem to remember a spoof on Picasso about him drawing a doodle on a napkin to pay a restaurant bill.

At least I think it was a spoof. It was a long time ago (80s, IIRC).

Didn’t Picasso use his artwork to pay people for work they did for him. I’ve heard he would just scribble a few squiqqles on paper and sign it instead of writing a check. Or was it some other artist?

If it were here in the US rather than in France, it most likely wouldn’t matter, as the matter would have blown the statute of limitations anyway.

The dude is so over-rated.
