Stolen Picasso Recovered

Seven stolen works of art, including a piece by Pablo Picasso, have been recovered in Italy. Among the 20th Century works retrieved were a sculpture by Italian Arnaldo Pomodoro and a piece by British modern artists Gilbert and George. Police have arrested one man in Nice, France, who they suspect of trafficking the art to Italy. Picasso's View of Cannes had been in a private collection when it was stolen in 1992. The seven recovered pieces, which also included a painting by Italian Giorgio Morandi, were estimated to be worth 1.3m euros (£881,743). For the full story - click the title Irish Art
