These Picasso Images Are Not From A Museum...

 They are from a Civil Court...


















Claude Picasso (R), son of late Spanish artist Pablo Picasso,
looks on ahead of the trial of Pierre Le Guennec (unseen), 
who is accused of receiving stolen goods after being found 
in possession of paintings by Picasso, at the court in Grasse, 
southeastern France on February 10, 2015. 

Le Guennec, a former electrician, is set to go on trial along 
with his wife for receiving stolen goods regarding some 
271 artworks by Picasso which Le Guennec claims were given 
to him by Picasso and his wife Jacqueline when he carried out 
work on their villa in Mougins in the 1970's.
