Two armed men invaded the Mário de Andrade Library in downtown São Paulo on Sunday morning (7), stealing eight prints by Henri Matisse and five by Candido Portinari. The robbery took place on the final day of an exhibition marking the institution's centenary. The works, part of historical collections, hold significant cultural value and had been stolen previously.
New York's Supreme Court ordered on April 3 the return to Philippe Maestracci of a Modigliani painting looted from his grandfather by the Nazis. The work, valued at 21.5 million euros, was the subject of a 17-year legal battle against collector David Nahmad. Maestracci, 81, living in Dordogne, expresses emotion for his grandfather's memory.
