Vandalised, stolen, cut into pieces, melted down and resold for a few thousand euros, even though they are worth millions: sculptures. On the night of 30\u201331 March 1999, whilst this park in the 6th arrondissement was closed to the public, individuals stole the sculpture of Picasso\u2019s former muse and lover, Dora Maar: \u2018Head of a Woman\u2019, an 80-centimetre-tall bronze weighing 80 kilos. Two years later, in a town hall in the Paris suburbs, it stood proudly on the staircase: \u2018Do you realise you\u2019ve got a Picasso in your building?\u2019 exclaimed an antique dealer who had come to visit the ch\u00e2teau. Indeed, the town hall had found a \u2018large stone\u2019 buried on a plot of land, had it cleaned, thought it was beautiful and displayed it in their ch\u00e2teau, unaware that it was a sculpture by Picasso\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
