'You know it's a Picasso because there is some magic coming off it,' Art detective Arthur Brand about identifying stolen painting Buste de Femme
Arthur Brand found Pablo Picasso's"Buste de Femme" 20 years after it was stolen from a wealthy Saudi's yacht in France.
A Dutch art detective said Tuesday that he has recovered a valuable painting by Pablo Picasso 20 years after it was stolen from a wealthy Saudi's yacht in France. Brand, a renowned sleuth whose previous finds include a pair of bronze horses sculpted for Adolf Hitler, has since handed over the painting, which he estimates to be worth around $28 million , to an insurance company. It wasn't immediately clear what would happen to the painting.
"But a forger never knows how the back looks," Brand said, without specifying what was there. "When I saw the back of the painting, I knew it was the real one.""Finally, I tracked somebody down who had had it in his possession 10 years ago and he told me which one it was," he said. "And then it still took me three years to get near it.""It was used as some kind of money as payment for drug and arm deals," he said.
