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.
