French couple investigated as they turn up 271 unknown works by Picasso worth €60m
The couple for years squirrelled away the staggering trove — which is believed to be authentic, but whose origin is unclear — in their garage on the French Riviera, said Picasso administration lawyer Jean-Jacques Neuer.
The cache, dating from the artist’s most creative period from 1900 to 1932, includes lithographs, portraits, watercolours, and sketches — plus nine Cubist collages said to be worth €40m alone, according to French daily Liberation.
