The Guggenheim Wants Its Picasso Back
The museum sues for ownership of a Picasso painting stolen in 1961, plus new affordable housing for artists in Philly.
In 1961, a Pablo Picasso painting called "Femme dans un fauteuil" disappeared from the University of Pittsburgh. The museum that had loaned the artwork to the Guggenheim Foundation for an exhibition in the fall semester requested it back this week. Despite a widespread investigation, the painting went missing without a trace. Now, the Guggenheim Museum is filing a lawsuit to retrieve the artwork.
